Friday, May 7: In the Hot Seat

On today's edition of "DaySide" with Linda Vester:

In the Hot Seat: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld (search) testifies before members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal. Is his job in danger? And how will the Arab world react to his testimony?

We’ll ask retired U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major Eric Haney, founding member of Delta Force, and Entifdah Qanbar, spokesman for Iraqi Governing Council Member Ahmed Chalabi.

Abuse Fallout: The images of Iraqi prisoners being abused made headlines worldwide and prompted an investigation and talk of court marshals for those involved. What do the soldiers *in* those pictures have to say for themselves?

Madrid Arrest: A former U.S. Army officer has been arrested in connection to the horrific Madrid bombings of March 11. Why in the world would an American be connected with an Al Qaeda terror bombing?

Karbala Fight: As U.S. troops and Al-Sadr's militiamen exchange fire, our own Steve Harrigan is embedded with our forces and will bring us the story.

Plus, through the magic of television, we’ll provide U.S. Army Capt. John Bretthorst and his wife Rachel with a wonderful Mother’s Day present.

We'll have those stories and more!
