• Tempers are still high in the Senate after Minority Leader Harry Reid (search) invoked a rarely used rule forcing the Senate into a closed, secret session. Were Republicans really stalling the investigation into Iraqi intelligence? Or was this really a stunt by the Democrats to change the subject back to Iraq? Major Garrett looks into the dynamics of the closed session.
• Then, the Senate Intelligence Committee is looking into what officials actually said about Iraqi intelligence leading up to the war. Was it accurate or overstated? Jim Angle takes a look.

• And Samuel Alito has been a federal appeals court judge for the last 15 years with quite a record to analyze. He has ruled on cases covering abortion, First Amendment (search) and other constitutional issues. Megyn Kendall starts looking at this extensive record, which will soon come under scrutiny on the road to confirmation.
• As violence in Iraq continues, correspondent Bret Baier speaks with the director of operations for the Army about increased IED use by Iraqi insurgents, troop rotation and the state of the Army.

Anchored by Washington news veteran Brit Hume, "Special Report with Brit Hume" provides an in-depth look at the day's news and offers a daily topical discussion of political issues impacting the nation.
Hume serves as host to key newsmakers, political pundits and FOX News contributors exchanging views about political matters from taxes and Social Security to international affairs and the political scandal of the day.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Hume brings a historical perspective to the political scene that is rarely rivaled. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., he has covered the policies, procedures and players in the national game called politics for more than 30 years.

Each program features a two-minute segment called The Grapevine, which reels off the latest outrageous news nuggets, political poll results and in-the-Beltway gossip that viewers will not see on any other news program. The New York Daily News describes The Grapevine as a must see that, "will make you sound smart around the water cooler… the next day."
