• Following their decision last winter — to boycott the election for Iraq's interim national assembly — Sunni Muslims have found their political voice in the direction of the country effectively silenced. Correspondent Greg Palkot reports on how the Sunnis have made a 180-degree turnabout.
• And we’ll also hear from Steve Brown in Michigan as he talks with Iraqi-Americans who are casting their votes for Iraq's first democratically elected government.
• And as President Bush watches events in Iraq, Republicans are starting to line up behind him including Majority Leader Bill Frist who, along with other GOP leaders, met with the president at the White House today. This while Democrats continue to debate an immediate withdrawal in a effort to become more unified. Carl Cameron has more.
• Plus, Mississippi's Governor Haley Barbour is putting on a full-court press in Washington this week to get Congress to pass a multibillion-dollar Hurricane Katrina relief package before it adjourns. Brian Wilson takes a look at Hurricane Katrina relief.
• Then, President Bush has said he is confident he can reach an agreement with Senator John McCain over restrictions on American interrogations of captives in the fight against global terrorism. Major Garrett will have a report.

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 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!
