 USATODAY.com - ABC News scores overnight beat on story of al-Zarqawi's death   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
NEW YORK (AP) — Thanks to a reporter jolted out of a vacation — if not sleep — ABC News scored a significant beat on its competitors Thursday when it was the first on the air to report the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the al-Qaeda leader in Iraq.
The ABC News report was based on a tip phoned from a source to Martha Raddatz, who was named ABC's chief White House correspondent last November after a dozen years covering the Pentagon for ABC News and National Public Radio.
It was a timely dose of good news for ABC, which has suffered in the past year with the death of Peter Jennings and the injury to anchor Bob Woodruff in a roadside bombing in Iraq.

 Koppel to leave 'Nightline' and ABC News - The Boston Globe
ABC News president David Westin said in an e-mail that Koppel had advised him of plans to leave the network when his contract expires Dec. 4.
When asked about the network's plans, ABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said: ''By definition, 'Nightline' without Ted Koppel will be a very different broadcast.
A 42-year ABC News veteran, Koppel had been chief diplomatic correspondent when, in March 1980, he began anchoring a groundbreaking late-night news show that grew out of the network's coverage of the 1979 takeover of the US Embassy in Iran.

Even before the meetings began, ABC News had learned the Pentagon was considering essentially writing off Iraq's deadliest province for American forces, pulling U.S. troops out of Anbar, and moving them to fight what may be an even more difficult battle: the fight for Baghdad.
Another Pentagon official tells ABC News Rumsfeld "thinks the new secretary should be sworn in as soon a practicable." This official says would be "appalled" if anybody tried to delay his departure so he could surpass McNamara as the longest serving Defense Secretary.

He is a superb broadcaster, the consummate professional, and a very familiar presence to the audience and everyone at 'World News Tonight,'" ABC News President David Westin said in a statement.
ABC News President David Westin's announcement came less than a week after "World News Tonight" fell to last place in the evening news ratings for the first time since 2001, behind NBC and the resurgent CBS.

 The Blotter
A senior federal law enforcement official tells ABC News the government is tracking the phone numbers we (Brian Ross and Richard Esposito) call in an effort to root out confidential sources.
ABC News does not know how the government determined who we are calling, or whether our phone records were provided to the government as part of the recently-disclosed NSA collection of domestic phone calls.
None of this may be true but ABC doesn't even suggest this possibility; rather, it publicizes this unproven contention--"ABC News does not know how the government determined who we are calling"-- by concluding it is true, yet there is no way for ABC to know if any of their phones were tapped at all.
