A Twisted Tale
The strange story of John Mark Karr, a suspect in the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, gets stranger by the day. Tomorrow, he will be flown from Thailand to the U.S. But tonight there are more questions than answers about the man who reportedly confessed to killing the little girl. NBC's Mike Taibbi is following the story for us tonight.
There is new concern about terrorism in Europe today. Authorities say they arrested one of two men who were allegedly involved in a bomb plot. NBC's Charles Sabine reports.
Also, Israeli commandos raided what has been described as a Hezbollah stronghold in Lebanon. The Lebanese government is calling it a violation of the U.N. cease-fire. NBC's Ron Allen will have the latest.
Did you know there is a major teacher shortage in the U.S.? Tonight we'll look at what some communities are doing to try to convince teachers to work in their school districts.
And turning 60. Former President Clinton is just one of the baby boomers celebrating his 60th. How are boomers changing the way society looks at 60-year-olds? We'll have all those stories coming up tonight. We hope you'll join us.

I agree with Dewey Quong. Report about the case AFTER you know the facts. Then it will be news. Why waste reporters who could be actually following stories about the War in Iraq or about the "truce" in Lebanon? I don't understand how ONE story is THE story until another ONE comes along.

The news media is partially responsbible for the fact that Americans cannot name members of the Supreme Court. We do not need to hear about Jon Benet. The focus on this case is disgusting. We have American soldiers in dying in wars, famines in various places of the world, a myriad of issues here at home -- all of which are very complex and require the focused attention of voters. It is appalling that you are providing coverage to a deranged man that probably didn't even murder this child. The media can do better than this.

If Karr is a deranged man looking for attention why are you giving it to him?
The Boulder City DA told everyone to step and and wait. Why aren't you?
There's enough time to get the story right without going tabloid on us.
