The Taliban offered to discuss turning over Osama bin Laden to a third country-- if the U-S would end bombing in Afghanistan. But President Bush says there will be NO negotiations. Period. Bush says the bombing will not stop unless the Taliban hand over bin Laden, his cohorts as well as any hostages they're holding. The President also says there's no need to discuss bin Laden's innocence or guilt-- saying we know he's guilty. Aleen Sirghany is in Washington with the latest.

Police say a green duffel bag found inside the terminal around five o'clock this afternoon triggered the alert. Authorities X-rayed the bag -- and saw something suspicious. But the bomb squad later determined the suspicious object was nothing more than a re-wired electric razor. By eight o'clock, police had cleared the Amtrak station to reopen for business.

The moderator came in for some criticism from another viewer (Toy Cobbe/Martinsville) "The major downside of this debate was the moderator, Larry Sabato. His smirking and self-importance permeated the entire hour. It was distasteful and unnecessary."
Another person thought the third party candidate should have been part of the proceedings. (Perry Rose/Goodview)
"I find the excuse to exclude the libertarian candidate due to low poll ratings to be the most bogus rack of rancor to cross my path since Bill said "I didn't have sex with that woman."
