Osama Bin Laden's former driver has entered a plea of not guilty to war-crimes charges in the first trial at Guantanamo Bay. Jury selection selection is the next step in the case of Salim Hamdan (sah-LEEM' hahm-DAHN'). Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey is calling on Congress to figure out how to give Guantanamo Bay terror detainees their day in U.S. civilian courts. Mukasey says last month's Supreme Court ruling that gave foreign suspects the right to challenge their detention leaves significant questions unanswered. We speak to with Evan Perez who covers the Justice Department for the Wall Street Journal.

President Bush is asking House Democrats not to stand in the way of an intelligence bill that would make it easier for the government to continue its warrantless domestic eavesdropping practices during terrorism investigations. The president took questions at a press conference today, ranging on the economy to domestic surveillance and US relations with Russia. Our guest is Joe Williams of the Boston Globe. We speak with author and activist Frances Moore Lappe about democracy in the US and about how citizens can and are changing the conversation. She is the author of the bestseller, Diet for a Small Planet, and she has a new book out titled Getting a Grip: Clarity, Creativity and Courage in a World Gone Mad. The mortgage market collapse has effected other parts of the economy -- like auto loans, credit card debt and now student loans.

The New York Times reports today at least four top White House lawyers participated in discussions about whether to destroy videotapes that showed interrogations of detainees. The White House responded saying that The Times' inference that the Bush Administration tried to mislead the public in this matter is 'pernicious and troubling.' We'll speak to Mark Mazzetti of the New York Times; and we'll hear from Richard Wollfe of Newsweek about tomorrow's hearing before US District Judge Henry Kennedy. There is word today that FARC, the leftist insurgent group, will release three hostages. They are still holding more than 700 people captive -- including a presidential candidate and her running mate, and the child that was born to that running mate while in captivity. Our guest is Adam Isacson, head of the Colombia program at the Center for International Policy in Washington DC.

With Congress about to break for Thanksgiving, we'll check on crucial pending legislation, including war funding, The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, Farm Bill, and Alternative Minimum Tax. Gail Chaddock of The Christian Science Monitor is our guest. Scape-goating pervades our literature, criminal courts, religion, and politics. It's misplaced aggression, and chances are we've all done it. David P. Barash, professor of psychology at University of Washington, says that taking out anger on others may be biologically good for us, but it doesn't mean we should continue to do it. Two new presidential campaign polls this week show former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has now pulled neck-and-neck in Iowa with the better-financed and better-organized Mitt Romney. We speak with an Iowa voter, who is a Christian and he's home-schooling his children. And he says many people in his circle are backing Huckabee, and they're a political force to be reckoned with.
