American Morning

What's on tap – Thursday May 21, 2009

Hello everyone,

We're following several developing stories right now. We'll break them down for you this morning.

  • A terror plot foiled in New York City. This morning, details about the plan to bomb a synagogue and shoot down U.S. fighter jets. And the incredible story of how the feds kept it from happening.
  • Also developing right now – new clues in the search for a 13-year-old cancer patient on the run with his mother. She's refusing to treat him with the conventional medicine doctors say could save his life. But this morning, authorities are hoping for a break as they ramp up their search and move the focus to California.
  • Plus, talking terror. President Obama set to deliver a major speech on national security today. But it won't be the only one. His biggest critic on the issue – former Vice President Dick Cheney also addressing the issue. And this morning the sniping between administrations past and present is already underway.
