But this week, the focus is back on Iraq, where one U-S soldier has been killed and six others wounded in the latest attack.
A military spokesman says the attackers fired multiple
rocket- propelled grenades at the soldiers' convoy early today.

(Nats: Baghdad Scene)
The relentless stream of hit-and-run assaults continues as soldiers work
to restore law and order in Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein. A
little more than three months ago President Bush declared major combat
was over, but since then 31 U.S. soldiers have been killed and dozens
more wounded. On Sunday, a bomb exploded near a Baghdad police station.
SOT: U.S. Lieutenant Montalvo:
"Some car exploded. On the side of the road there was a bomb that
exploded."
The latest attack comes on the heels of a new audio tape featuring an
unidentified voice claiming to be a member of an armed wing of al Qaeda
that has set up in Iraq.
(Nat: Audio Tape)
The group urges U.S. troops to leave the country as promised and warned
more attacks are in the works.
Back in Washington, CIA Director George Tenant is under a different kind
of fire. Tenant has taken responsibility for a faulty statement
President Bush made in his State of the Union address in January.
(Nats: State of the Union)
The speech featured comments by the President that Iraq was seeking to
purchase uranium from Africa. Based on British intelligence, it was
later found that the information was based on forged documents. With
weapons of mass destruction yet to be located in Iraq, the heat is on
the administration to justify the war and maintain credibility.
AS Close: President Bush is set to meet with U-N chief Kofi Annan today
to discuss deployment of a peace-keeping force in Liberia.
The president has promised to help the war torn nation but so far has
fallen short of committing U.S. troops. AS, CBS News,

WALKING IS SO EASY, IT'S SO GOOD FOR YOU.
2,000 steps is about a mile, or to put it another way --
if you were at Chicago's Wrigley field and walked around the bases 14 times.. that's 2000 steps, like all baseball diamonds...
or if you were in New York City and walked 20 blocks that's about 2000 steps.
STAND UP
IT'S PRETTY EASY TO WORK THE EXTRA STEPS INTO YOUR DAY.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF I PARK AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT AT WORK, I'VE ADDED 500 STEPS EACH DAY.
THEN AFTER LUNCH I CAN TAKE A 15 MINUTE WALK AND I'VE DONE MY 2,000 STEPS.
