("The day After Tomorrow" (20th Century Fox ))
Iraqi ties to Al-Qaeda? Weapons of mass destruction? Imminent threat from Iraq? When members of the Bush administration made its case for war in Iraq, national security analyst John Prados thinks that they withheld some key information from the American public. He’s here to share intelligence reports and briefings from the CIA and the Pentagon. Then writer/director/producer Roland Emmerich talks about "The Day After Tomorrow," his new big-budget movie about global warming. It’s generating a lot of controversy. Also, burn units are no place for the squeamish – but Barbara Ravage shares some details about treatments for burn victims. Plus a look at the life of Antonin Careme, a man who might have been the very first celebrity chef.
