The "partnership" that's key to western strategy in Afghanistan has been shattered by the burning of Korans and the assassination of two Americans in a supposedly secure location. We get the latest from Kabul, an update on damage control and the potential political consequences here at home. Also, does the Post Office have a future in the Internet age? We look at proposed cuts in service, post office closings and an increase in the price of a first-class stamp.
