Today: Salim Hamden, Osama bin Laden's former driver, is found guilty of supporting terrorism, but cleared of the charge of conspiracy. Also, who is Aafia Siddiqui? A Pakistani neuroscientist who studied at MIT and Brandeis, she's being charged with trying to kill American soldiers and FBI agents while she was in custody in Afghanistan. Then we look at how to handle interrogations. A group of lawyers has produced a video crash-course on what to do when the FBI knocks on your door. The group says that people, especially Muslims, don't know their legal rights, and that they are sometimes subjected to excessive scrutiny. We close the show with a look back at the Olympic Games in South Korea, and a conversation with jazz legend Herbie Hancock .
