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

Terri Schiavo has died...
Some of the more reputable papers in the country have both covered the Schiavo case and scolded broadcast news -- especially cable news -- for covering the story... so much.

But no matter what you think of the personal and political choices made in this case, there's no denying that her death and the manner leading up to it set off a fight in this country.

Even though polls show a vast majority of Americans think Congress and the President acted improperly in the case, a much slimmer majority say that taking out the feeding tube, on a personal, family level... was right.

If there is such a thing as peace, we all hope that Terri Schiavo has found it.

But the debate her case triggered is not over; the full implications not yet realized.

Countdown will devote the entire hour to Terri Schiavo.
-- the latest news of the day.
-- the legalities ahead.
-- the national politics.
-- the autopsy.
-- and, was due process achieved?

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

Terri Schiavo dies, but battle continues. President Bush: 'Millions of Americans are saddened'. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7293186/

COMMENTARY By Arthur Caplan, Ph.D.: Terri Schiavo has now died. She died amid an incredible cacophony of arguments, pleadings, demands, threats, prayers and commentary. That she died angered many. How she died angered many others. The attention her death elicited from so many different sources angered still others. If in the wake of her passing it is possible to put some of that anger aside, perhaps we can all ask ourselves some hard questions about what has taken place here. What should each of us take away from the incredible events of the past few weeks? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7289351/

Finding Terri: The woman behind the existential debate. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7347035/

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