By host Tom Ashbrook:
What a whirlwind week in the news it has been. Private money buys Chrysler. A huge search is on for captured US soldiers in Iraq. Jerry Falwell goes to his reward. And then it gets bigger.
The commander in chief names a “war czar.” The president’s man, Paul Wolfowitz, is out at the World Bank, just ahead of the hounds. A giant immigration deal is hammered out in the Senate. And the Justice Department’s former Number Two tells a tale of top White House men strong-arming a desperately-ill John Ashcroft, in his hospital bed, on domestic wiretapping.
This hour On Point: we go behind the week’s headlines, with top analysts, Jack Beatty, and you.
Guests:
Linda Douglass, former chief Capitol Hill correspondent for ABC, fellow at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government
William McKenzie, editorial page columnist for the Dallas Morning News
