Join host Brit Hume and FOX's Team Washington weekdays at 6 p.m. ET for "Special Report" — Find out what's happening inside the Beltway and on the world stage.
• President Bush carried his battle over the build-up to the war in Iraq across the Pacific Thursday, blasting Democrats once again for claiming the White House distorted pre-war intelligence. And Vice President Dick Cheney said Wednesday the accusation is "one of the most dishonest and reprehensible charges ever aired in this city." Carl Cameron has the details tonight.
• Then, Iraq's Shiite interior minister accused critics Thursday of exaggerating reports of torture at a lockup seized by U.S. troops last weekend, saying inmates included both Shiites and Sunnis and only a handful showed signs of abuse. Mike Emanuel has more from the Pentagon.
• And Bob Woodward, from exposing a presidential cover-up in Watergate to being forced to apologize to his own paper for failing to tell his editor that he had vital information about a major story. Many of the people who have always backed this man, now are sharpening their knives. Jim Angle has a report.
• Plus, an influential House Democrat who voted for the Iraq war called for the immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. Brian Wilson tells us who it is.
• And the congressional investigation of the activities of lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who is accused of taking money from Indian tribes while secretly instigating legislative opposition to their activities, took an emotional turn on Capitol Hill. Major Garrett explains why.
• Then, lawmakers on Capitol Hill remain concerned over a 1985 memo on issues of abortion and affirmative action by Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito. Megyn Kendall has the latest.
Real journalism: fair and balanced. That's why we're No. 1 — FOX News Channel.
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!
