USA Today: Cheney vs. Edwards could be a historic moment; it's a vice presidential debate that actually matters.

Reuters: Halliburton to play a special role at VP debate tonight; Edwards expected to invoke name of Cheney's former company as example of "cronyism."

AFP: Attempting to stop his slide in the polls, Bush uncharacteristically changes his Wednesday schedule to add a "significant speech" on terrorism and the economy.

Knight-Ridder: CIA report ordered by Dick Cheney "undercuts the White House's claim that Saddam Hussein maintained ties to al-Qaida, saying there's no conclusive evidence that the regime harbored Osama bin Laden associate Abu Musab al-Zarqawi."

Washington Post: Et tu Paul Bremer? Former U.S. official who governed Iraq after invasion says administration made major mistakes not deploying enough troops and not containing violence and looting after Saddam Hussein's fall.
