Tonight on Countdown
------------------------------------------------------

The White House on Monday said it was "absurd" for an Italian
journalist to charge that U.S. military forces may have deliberately targeted
her car as she was being escorted by Italian agents who had just
negotiated her freedom from hostage-takers.

Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann broadcasts LIVE at 8 pm et, and the count
is never complete without you. Join us.
Alison Stewart is in for Keith tonight.

The Bush administration gave the CIA extensive authority to send
terrorism suspects to foreign countries for interrogation just days after the
Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, The New York Times reported on Sunday.

The Navy and marine wildlife experts are investigating whether the
beaching of dozens of dolphins in the Florida Keys followed the use of
sonar by a submarine on a training exercise off the coast.

And Monica Novotny reports: how video games are helping surgeons hone
their skills.

That's some of what we're working on for tonight's show.

Finally,
A new county law aims to keep readers from reeking. Libraries in San
Luis Obispo County have had their own rules banning offensive body odor
since 1994, but the policy became law after the Board of Supervisors
last month adopted an ordinance that lets authorities kick out malodorous
guests. Visitors to 14 libraries and a bookmobile also could be asked
to leave for fighting, eating, drinking, sleeping, playing games, and
printing or viewing illegal materials on library computers.

The point, in other words, is to be able to read, just read --
smell-free. They should include in their definition of smelly... too much
cologne.

More:
Insurgents launched attacks with bombs and gunfire in Iraq on Monday,
killing at least 31 Iraqis and wounding dozens more as the country took
its first major step toward forming a government whose most crucial
task will be dealing with the insurgency.

Undersecretary of State John Bolton, a controversial Bush
administration figure whose strong statements on North Korea's nuclear program irked
the leaders in Pyongyang, is President Bush's choice to be the next
U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, three government officials said
Monday. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7117487/

Boeing Co. abruptly forced out its president and chief executive
officer, Harry Stonecipher, for what the company said Monday was a violation
of the company's code of business conduct stemming from a relationship
the married, 68-year-old Stonecipher had with a female Boeing
executive. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7115686/

Middle-age women can cut their risk of strokes but not heart attacks by
regularly taking low doses of aspirin, and the pills help prevent both
problems in women 65 and older, a major study found.

Flight attendant Ellen Simonetti and former Google employee Mark Jen
have more in common than their love of blogging: They both got fired over
it. Though many companies have Internet guidelines that prohibit
visiting porn sites or forwarding racist jokes, few of the policies directly
cover blogs, or Web journals, particularly those written outside of
work hours. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7116338/

After five months in prison, Martha Stewart is wasting little time
smelling the roses. Stewart was expected Monday to report back to her
company's corporate headquarters in Manhattan and get back to work.

Tiger Woods returned to No. 1 in the world Sunday.
