We return now to our top story of the day, the release of the report by the Iraq study group. Families with loved ones currently serving in the U.S. military are sure to be interested in one of the key recommendations of the panel. It offers the hope of a draw down of U.S. combat forces in Iraq. Here is the study group's co-chair, former democratic congressman Lee Hamilton.
