Tsunami Damage Tour: U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (search) tours the tsunami-devastated areas including Sumatra's west coast, which was the closest to the epicenter of that 9.0 earthquake that started the whole disaster. We’ll have a report from correspondent Greg Palkot in Indonesia. Plus, the latest on the relief efforts and looming health crisis as Trace Gallagher reports from Thailand.

Locating Loved Ones: More families are hiring private investigators to head to the tsunami-ravaged areas to search for news of missing family members. What can they do that local authorities or the State Department cannot? We’ll ask William Daly, senior vice president of Control Risks Group, one of the companies doing these searches on the ground in Southeast Asia.

Al Qaeda Aid? It's the last thing the victims need: while aid groups and U.S. military personnel try to hand out aid, a radical Muslim group linked to Al Qaeda (search) has sent operatives to the region. Mansoor Ijaz tells us what they're doing in the region.

Military Review: Correspondent Bret Baier has a report on the U.S. military’s top to bottom review of strategy, tactics and personnel requirements in Iraq. How can the military secure Iraq on Election Day? We’ll also talk with Brigadier General Erv Lessel, spokesperson for the multi-national forces in Iraq.
