For nearly 200 million americans today, the temperature never got above freezing. And take a look at this, tonight. A massive and deadly pileup in indiana. Trucks and cars tangled on the road. Traffic backed up for miles. And the problem is, its so cold, all of the snow and ice isnt going anywhere for days. From the midwest to the gulf, tonight, this arctic blast is farreaching. And a number for you. 35,000 Flight Cancellations this month alone. Twice as many as normal and counting. Abcs gio benitez, leads us off with the dramatic ice rescues playing out across the frozen nation, tonight. Reporter from the arctic midwest to the frozen northeast, people are battling the ice and sometimes the ice wins. In west haven, connecticut, a dramatic ice rescue.

I want to bring in abcs chief white house correspondent, jonathan karl. Illegal . Ineffective . Theyre not even catching anyone here . Reporter thats right. They say flatly, it is illegal. And they directly contradict the president on how effective it has been. Just this last year, the president said this program was saving lives. We know of at least 50 threats that have been averted because of this information. Reporter but look at what this report says. It says we have not identified a single instance involving a threat to the United States in which this program has made a concrete difference. Not a single one, david. Now, the white house, today, disagreed with that assessment. But said that the president did listen to this panel. And in making his own changes to the nsa, has incorporated some of their recommendations. This is going to fuel that debate. Jon karl at the white house. Jon, thank you.

And the Ambassador Says americans back home should be very concerned about what is happening here. Its very much in our interest to have an iraq that is stable, and not to have sectarian conflict or al qaeda presence that can be used to destabilize the rest of the region and potentially at some point as a platform to attack targets beyond the region. Reporter which is why here in baghdad, david, the u. S. Will soon be sending, not just small arms. But tank shells and hellfire missiles. Martha raddatz reporting in from iraq tonight.

A major headline about your health, tonight, with a question mark for anyone who drinks sodas with that caramel color. A chemical, that in some cases has been linked to cancer in mice. A report with a warning tonight. And abcs chief medical editor, dr. Richard besser, is here. Reporter when you sip that soda, you may be drinking it. Caramel coloring, a common ingredient. But could some actually cause cancer . Consumer reports tested 110 sodas from california and new york. They found some had an ingredient in the coloring called 4mei. They believe some of the levels they found were too high. At very high levels, it can cause tumors in mice. California requires a cancer warning on products that contain certain levels of the chemical. Consumers shouldnt have to be subjected to this unnecessary risk just to color food brown. Reporter but while the fda today said they have been looking into this, they did make clear they believe sodas are safe to drink. The American Beverage Association disagreed with Consumer Reports concerns, as did pepsi, which pointed out that it even adheres to californias toughestinthenation regulations. Saying, all of our products are in full compliance with the law. Based on what we know right now, you would need to drink more than 1,000 cans of soda every day to take in as much of the chemical as the mice that got cancer. So, im not concerned. If you are, look for the labels with caramel color, you have a choice. But youre not entirely concerned yet . Im not. Rich, thank you. It seems weve seen so many of these cases.
