    There's been an uproar over the terror trials taking place in New York. For some people it has little to do with the location, but its the idea that the trial won't be in a military tribunal. Either way, people are upset. Now the White House may be changing its tune. Where will the terror trials take place?

    Will the underwear bomber make a deal? We'll find out what kind of deal he might get and how that may effect future cases.

  • What does your report card look like?

    Show Producers  | 

    Today, a report was released concerning weapons of mass destruction. The bi-partisan congressional group gave the Obama administration an "F" in terms of being prepared for a WMD terror attack.

  • Help kids in Haiti with Plan International

    Show Producers  | 

    We talked with Plan International's country director who told us of the vulnerability the children of Haiti face today. Orphanages and places housing children are more vulnerable to looting because people know they tend to get food and aid first. Plan International has been working in Haiti for more than 35 years and continues to serve the children of Haiti through this very difficult time.
