Tonight on Countdown
------------------------------------------------------
According to Scott McClellan... President Bush's speech tomorrow will be an important one and will be a first in a series between now and December 15th about the plan for victory in Iraq.
"I tried to tell" the President about problems in Iraq, one former senior official told the magazine. "And he couldn't hear it." New Yorker reporter Seymour Hersh said that Bush is motivated in part by religious fervor and that he believes the war must be judged on a time line of decades, not years. "He's a utopian, you could say, in a world where maybe he doesn't have all the facts and all the information he needs and isn't able to change," Hersh said.

The reporter for Time magazine who recently agreed to testify in the CIA leak case is central to White House senior adviser Karl Rove's effort to fend off an indictment in the two-year-old investigation, according to two people familiar with the situation. Viveca Novak, who has written intermittently about the leak case for Time, has been asked to provide sworn testimony to Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald in the next few weeks after Rove attorney Robert Luskin told Fitzgerald about a conversation he had with her, the two sources said.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/28/AR2005112801683.htmlThe question of whether there is a link between stress and cancer has puzzled and intrigued researchers as well as patients. What has emerged is a tenuous connection between stress, the immune system and cancer, with a surprising new insight that is changing the direction of research: it now appears that cancer cells make proteins that actually tell the immune system to let them alone and even to help them grow. As for whether stress causes cancer, the question is still open.

Finally,
A mother has been charged with trying to poison her adult daughter and her daughter's family after allegedly pouring bleach into their macaroni and cheese on Saturday night. Nancy O'Donnell, 56, was charged with four counts each of aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person, police said. Victoria O'Donnell went upstairs while the food was cooking, and police said that when she came back downstairs, she could smell bleach in the food. She tried the macaroni and cheese and immediately spit it out after tasting the bleach, police said. No one else tasted the food.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10243530/For some people, the body's reaction to stress may raise the odds of developing high cholesterol, the results of a new study suggest. Researchers in the U.K. found that healthy middle-age adults whose cholesterol rose in response to a stressful task were more likely than their peers without this increase to have high cholesterol several years later. The new findings, he said, suggest that these transient increases may predict long-term elevations in cholesterol.
