[0:12] On World News Tonight, the government

[0:14] charges John Walker with aiding

[0:16] terrorists and conspiring to kill

[0:18] Americans. US troops going to the

[0:29] Medicine on the cutting edge. [music]

[0:31] For the first time, a way to see

[0:33] Alzheimer's disease as it is forming in

[0:35] the brain. And a new generation in the

[0:39] coolest game on Earth, the newest stars

[0:42] on ice.

[0:46] [music] From ABC News World Headquarters

[0:49] in New York, this is World News Tonight

[0:52] with Peter Jennings.

[0:53] >> Good evening, everyone. The Bush

[0:54] administration has decided on the

[0:56] charges it will bring against John

[0:58] Walker. The young American who was

[1:00] captured with the Taliban in Afghanistan

[1:02] is being transferred from US military

[1:05] custody to the civilian justice system

[1:07] where for one thing he will get a

[1:09] lawyer. Mr. Walker will be charged with

[1:11] conspiring to kill Americans and

[1:13] providing support to the enemy.

[1:15] President Bush has been involved in this

[1:17] from the beginning and so we are going

[1:19] to begin at the White House with ABC's

[1:20] Terry Moran. Terry, tell us the details

[1:23] again of the government's case. Peter,

[1:25] the question of how to deal with John

[1:27] Walker Lind is one that perplexed the

[1:29] administration at the highest levels

[1:31] ever since his capture last November. It

[1:33] was a debate that was resolved in the

[1:35] end, as you said, in favor of proceeding

[1:37] in the civilian rather than the military

[1:39] courts.
