This light day of news included only a couple of overseas stories. CBS' Mandy Clark filed from Afghanistan where the USArmy is sending mixed messages with a leaflet campaign in an attempt to find an unnamed soldier held prisoner by Taliban guerrillas. Half of the leaflets contain a "blunt warning," Clark told us: "If you do not free the American soldier you will be hunted." The other half is conciliatory, "a simple plea for information." NBC's Dawna Friesen filed from France, where the state already bans Moslem girls from wearing head scarves at school. Now President Nicolas Sarkozy has proposed a street ban on burqas. Friesen pointed to France's "cherished secularism" as Sarkozy told the national parliament: "The burqa is not a religious sign. It is sign of enslavement."
