Riot police with helmets and shields broke open the door of a synagogue in Kfar Darom where protesters had barricaded themselves, fired water cannons on the crowd and began removing the protesters. Jennifer Griffin is there and files this report.
And, Mike Tobin wraps up events from Neve Dakalim (search) where settlers were removed and just across the fence line Islamic jihad rallied in celebration of the pullout.
While the president vacations in Crawford, Texas, his vice president is on the road in Missouri speaking about Iraq. And last night, candlelight vigils calling for an end to the war in Iraq took place across the nation. Carl Cameron has a report.
Bret Baier covers the latest news from Iraq after a roadside bomb in the tense, religiously mixed Iraqi city of Samarra (search) killed four U.S. soldiers today.
Plus, the military intelligence official who first spoke publicly about Able Danger (search) was called to Capitol Hill, to brief staffers with the Senate Judiciary Committee about the special military intelligence unit, which he says identified the lead hijacker, Mohamed Atta (search), in the summer of 2000. Catherine Herridge reports.
Then, 38,000 more documents are being released from Judge Roberts' (search) time as a government lawyer. Jim Angle reports the latest news surrounding the Supreme Court nominee.
We'll also talk with our all-star panel of FOX News contributors about the day's headlines:
—Jeff Birnbaum, columnist for The Washington Post
—Bill Sammon, White House correspondent for The Washington Times
—Ceci Connolly, national correspondent for The Washington Post

About the Show
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.
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. The Baltimore Sun referred to him as "the very personification of the political establishment."
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."
FOX News' Team Washington provides live reports from the White House, Capitol Hill, the Supreme Court and key federal agencies. Seasoned correspondents, including Carl Cameron, Wendell Goler and Major Garrett, explore political hot spots, races and legislative battles being waged around the nation and abroad.
Hume wraps up each program with a lively roundtable discussion featuring Mara Liasson of National Public Radio, Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard and Mort Kondracke of Roll Call.
And more people watch FNC's Primetime than all of the cable news competition combined!
