it happened on thursday, which is now two days ago. and, jim, the details of who went in there are coming out, and although the organization has not officially confirmed who died, they have said that there were 12 people in that team, ten people dead, and two afghan surviv survived. so you would have to say that all of the foreigners who were involved in that did die. one of them that is believed to have died is dr. karen woo. she s a british she was a british doctor, a specialist in women, maternal and child health care. and she actually wrote in a blog about what she was going to do. and i can read a little section in a second about that. and then the team leader definitely confirmed as tom little. he was the team leader from new york. back to you, jim. all right. our jill dougherty joining us live from kabul, afghanistan, on that just terrible story about those aid workers who were, as jill put it, executed out there
our bus, no, not ours a different bus. across the country. a different bus, a republican bus. and they re going to try to what they want to do is try to help their candidates cross the country as much as possible to get out the vote. one thing steele didn t say, though, and you know he s had a lot of controversy, he didn t say whether he would or would not run for re-election next year as the head of the republican party, jim. paul, that s an interesting thing you throw in at the end because that excitement about chairman steele s future, if you think about it, if he is still the chairman, and obviously he s going to fill out the rest of his term or at least that s what s expected, and the november elections come by and say the republicans take back the house, they get very close to taking back the senate, that s going to be viewed within the republican party as a very big success. so it will be hard to say michael steele wasn t a success as the rnc chairm if you just look at
