    Americans and the Bitterly Controversial War in Iraq

    The Iraq war is bitterly controversial, but only 5 percent of Americans know somebody who's been wounded or killed. Whose war is it?  Is much of society disconnected from the sacrifices that are being made?    Also, Valerie Plame testifies on Capitol Hill today on being outted by her own government and, on Reporter's Notebook, CPR without mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
