Tonight on Countdown
------------------------------------------------------

There's much more brewing now about that latest terror threat...

Yesterday New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said police would be ``slowly winding down'' the intensity of subway patrols, after the target date cited in a federal warning about a possible terrorist attack passed without incident. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000087&sid=ao2qgQmYt8IE&refer=top_world_news

As Pete Williams said in his report last night, those arrests in Iraq turned up nothing. "Law enforcement officials say today that investigations in the Iraqi city where three men were arrested last week, in response to a tip ... turned up no evidence whatsoever of any plan to attack New York. That includes giving the three men lie detector tests, searching their computers, and checking their phone call records."

Tonight... a postmortem on this latest terror threat, which officials at Homeland Security had said was of doubtful credibility.

And on Wednesday, Keith takes a closer look...
As he said yesterday, "...we spoke of at least thirteen coincidences of timing, between bad political news for the government, and a terror or terror-related event... We will be presenting a special report detailing those coincidences on Wednesday night's edition."

Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann broadcasts LIVE at 8 pm et, and the count is never complete without you. Join us.

Trucks of aid arrived in the ruined capital of Pakistan-ruled Kashmir on Tuesday, and victims scuffled for badly needed food and blankets three days after a devastating earthquake flattened whole communities, killing tens of thousands and leaving millions homeless. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9626146/

President Bush pledged Tuesday that the federal government will not seek to dictate terms for rebuilding the hurricane-devastated Gulf Coast but would allow state and local officials to make key decisions. He rejoiced in what he said is a spirit of revival there. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9654536/

If the nightmare of an avian flu pandemic emerges from the dark chapters of doomsday scenarios, it will fall to the Department of the Homeland Security, not the medical establishment, to manage the crisis, according to federal documents and interviews with government officials. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9654456/

Harriet Miers, President Bush's nominee for the Supreme Court, quickly developed a deep and almost gushing admiration for her boss from her earliest days in Texas government. "You are the best governor ever - deserving of great respect!" she wrote in 1997, in a belated birthday note that was typical of the tone she used in her correspondence with then-Gov. Bush. The letter was one of a handful of personal notes included in more than 2,000 pages of documents released yesterday by the Texas State Library. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2002553074_miers11.html

That's some of what we're planning for tonight's show.
