<p>BLITZER: He's at the center of this storm, the controversy that is raging here in Washington. The naming of the CIA operative appeared in his column back on July 14. That popular columnist syndicated across the country by "The Chicago Sun-Times." And he's well known, of course, to our CNN viewers as the co-host of "CROSSFIRE."</p>

<p>WASHINGTON --Columnist and CNN contributor Robert Novak said Wednesday he resents the suggestion he was used as a pawn to reveal the identity of a CIA operative in order to retaliate against her husband, who criticized President Bush's evidence supporting claims that Iraq attempted to buy material for nuclear weapons.</p>

<p>ZAHN: And joining me now is the man at the heart of this growing controversy, Ambassador Joseph Wilson. He joins us from Washington.</p> <p>Welcome back, sir.</p> <p>JOSEPH WILSON, FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR: Hi, Paula. How are you?</p> <p>ZAHN: I'm fine. Thanks.</p>

With his new book, Persecution—How Liberals Are Waging War Against Christianity (published by Regnery, a HUMAN EVENTS sister company), David Limbaugh ventures into the lion’s den, challenging federal courts and other public institutions that have targeted Christians in America for unfair treatment. Full of revealing, often infuriating, but must-be-told stories, Persecution exposes the anti-Christian agenda of the American left—and how it threatens American freedom. It destroys the myth that the Founding Fathers intended to build a wall of separation between church and state, and debunks the lie that the public schools are merely neutral bystanders in this cultural war. As...

For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago. The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs...

Thank you very much. Since September 11, 2001 - more than two years ago now - no major terrorist attack has occurred within our borders. We have liberated two nations and 50 million people once enslaved by tyrannical regimes Iraq, once a source of oppression, is now a source of hope. A fledgling democracy is blooming there.

Washington-AP -- President Bush used his weekly radio address to promote his trade efforts. He says when -- quote -- "the playing field is level, our workers, farmers, ranchers and small business owners can compete with anybody in the world." Bush says the administration is encouraging trade by opening markets for American goods and services. He says the move would create more jobs and is a boon for small businesses. But even as Bush pushes his free trade efforts, he's mulling over whether to keep tariffs on foreign-made steel -- provoking questions about his free-trade credentials.
