Chemical Weapons Found in Iraq!
ALAN COLMES, CO-HOST: Our top story tonight, the nation abuzz today after word that coalition forces have found 500 chemical weapons, munitions in Iraq, since the invasion of 2003. Just a short time ago, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was asked about this new development at a Pentagon press conference.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JOURNALIST: Mr. Secretary, there's a lot made on Capitol Hill about these chemical weapons that were found and may be quite old. But do you have a real concern — are these weapons from Saddam's past, perhaps having an impact on U.S. troops who are on the ground in Iraq right now?
DONALD RUMSFELD, U.S. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: Certainly. What's been announced is accurate, that there have been hundreds of canisters or weapons of various types found that either currently have sarin in them or had sarin in them.

Congress must make college more affordable for all Americans, says ...
Congresswoman Nita Lowey of Westchester and Rockland counties Monday met with students at the College of New Rochelle to discuss two changes to student loan programs that will take place on July 1. The changes will significantly increase student and parent borrowing for college, making the college affordability crisis worse, she said.
"At a time when tuition at four-year public colleges has risen 40 percent since 2001, this one-two punch will saddle millions of students with even more debt than they currently face and may even put college out of reach for millions more," said Lowey. "It is unconscionable that the Majority in Congress could pass a bill to cut student aid by $12 billion and increase interest rates on student loans."
Beginning on July 1, the interest rates on outstanding federal student loans - for students who have already graduated from college - are going to rise to 7.14 percent for students and 7.94 percent for federal parent loans.
