[0:00] A Sex in the City exclusive. Plus, the
[0:02] [music] stars wedding next. ET.
[0:06] >> Wheeling and dealing. Fear tonight that
[0:09] Taliban and terrorist leaders may be
[0:11] slipping out of Afghanistan under cover
[0:14] of talk of a possible negotiated
[0:17] surrender.
[0:18] They're not used to this. A northern
[0:21] style winter slips into the American
[0:24] South. Children's sports, violent
[0:28] parents. One father is dead. Another

[1:23] expectations low.
[1:26] >> American troops in southern Afghanistan
[1:29] continue intelligence gathering missions
[1:31] they hope will help in their hunt for
[1:33] Taliban and al-Qaeda leaders. And
[1:35] tonight, speculation here is mounting
[1:37] that Mulla Omar may soon be handed over
[1:39] in a deal. A deal being downplayed in
[1:42] Washington. We are not authorizing, if
[1:44] anyone wonders, um pauses or or uh
[1:48] negotiations which would result in
[1:52] freeing of people that ought not to be
