The Verdict on the Verdict : One question lingers for the jurors who determined Libby was guilty "Where was Rove? Where were these other guys?" We'll talk to juror Denis Collins. And that cloud Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald described over the White House, one Republican Senator thinks the forecast calls for impeachment.

The Spin Machine: We look at predictable - yet still mind-boggling - spin from the usual right-wing suspectson the guilty verdict of Scooter Libby. Why is FOX News suddenly "soft on crime"? WATCH VIDEO
ODDBALL : Weirdness from India including the annual festival of the "hooks", and a drunken bull-fight where it's the bulls that are drunk, and the cutest two-snouted piggy you'll see all day. WATCH VIDEO
Persecuted Prosecutors : Was it politics or poor performance that led the administration to use a little known provision in the Patriot Act to force out eight U-S attorneys and replace them without any oversight. Congress is asking questions, and so are we. WATCH VIDEO
Jenna's Book Deal : Her previous best known work of fiction was a fake I-D, now 25-year-old Jenna Bush has managed to land a sweet book deal for her fall release, "Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope." Andrea Mitchell reports the president's daughter is trying to get the spotlight for something other than partying hard. WATCH VIDEO
