They're known as "Dr. Germ" and "Mrs. Anthrax" — two prominent members of Saddam's regime. Now they're among roughly two dozen high-level detainees released by U.S. officials. FOX's Bret Baier has the details.
And, is President Bush's media blitz working? We'll get a fair and balanced debate from Republican strategist Terry Holt, a former national spokesman for the Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign, and Steve Elmendorf, former political director of John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign.

Real journalism: fair and balanced. That's why we're No. 1 — FOX News Channel.
