The nightclub fire that has stunned the world. What investigators are learning this morning as brazil gets ready to bury more than 200 victims and still counting. Terrible tragedy there.

To my right is the honorable bill thomas, who served in congress until 2007. He was the chair of the house ways and means committee.
