SUSAN ROESGEN, CNN ANCHOR: Also, who's on the list? Which members of Saddam Hussein's family now have most wanted before their names? And...</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If anything happens to me, just remember that I already lived my life to the fullest and happy with what I lived.</s>ROESGEN: On this holiday weekend, we remember our fallen heroes. This is CNN SUNDAY NIGHT, your connection to the world, the web, and what's happening now. I'm Susan Roesgen, filling in for Carol Lin. Also in the line-up tonight, at :10 after, the web's most popular stories, including something stolen from Brangelina. Then at :32 after, the perfect discussion for this holiday weekend. What is patriotism? And at :53 after, we'll introduce you to the original boobie woogie bugle boy from Company B. We've all been busy this weekend, so let's get plugged in. The headlines now. NASA was a go, but Mother Nature a no go. South Florida thunderstorms put the scrub on the second straight attempt to launch Space Shuttle Discovery. They'll top off the fuel cells tomorrow and try again Tuesday. Full details from the Kennedy Space Center in 90 seconds. Osama bin laden is particularly chatty lately. Two audio messages in three days, both now confirmed by the CIA as the voice of the al Qaeda leader. The latest message names the new leader of al Qaeda in Iraq and urges him to keep fighting Americans. Heavy shelling continued in northern Gaza as Israeli tanks and troops continued to wait on the border. In his Sunday morning cabinet meeting, exactly a week after Corporate Pilaf Shalit (ph) was kidnapped, Israeli Prime Minister Abe Mertz (ph) said he has told the military to do everything necessary to bring him home. CNN's Paula Hancocks is there reporting from Gaza City on new developments tonight. Israel cranks up the pressure with more airstrikes. Paula's report coming up at :19 after.</s>SHANNON COOK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, I'm Shannon Cook with World News. It's all over but the counting in Mexico. Polls closed one hour ago after 71 million eligible voters decided who will succeed President Vicente Fox. Full coverage tonight, where live from Mexico City in about 20 minutes.</s>ROESGEN: A fun day at the boat races turns horrifying. Southeast Indiana, a car veered off the road, plowed through a crowd of spectators, and in to the Ohio River. It happened during the annual Madison, Indiana, regatta. Nobody was killed, but up to a dozen people are hurt. And the police say a teenager was behind the wheel. Are you traveling through Los Angeles airport any time soon? Bring a book. A big runway project gets under way this month and will likely causing flight disruptions, flight delays, and frustration at the gates for about a year. The state government shut down will hit New Jersey's big money makers in the coming days. All 12 Atlantic City casinos are ordered to board up their doors on Wednesday if Governor John Corzine and state lawmakers continue to squabble over the budget.</s>GOVERNOR JOHN CORZINE (R), NEW JERSEY: To this point, our efforts have not resulted in the sort of responsible plan that the public has ever right to expect. We've taken we believe every reasonable and responsible measure to ensure that this day would not come, but here we are. Responsibility to the readers or a crime against the nation? "The New York Times" editors are defending their decision to publish the details of a secret government program. Whether they should have or shouldn't have dominated the Sunday talk shows.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I think we're obviously in the middle of a pretty historic clash between the administration on the one hand, and the press on the other. The balance between National Security and the publics' right to know. And then, unfortunately, we're in the middle of it at the moment.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Eric's story helped terrorists elude capture. That's what the outrage is about. That's a widely shared opinion among people with intelligent backgrounds. It's widely shared by soldiers in the field, is made evident on blogs.</s>ROESGEN: So many hot topics this week. The debate over flag burning and the support for the war in Iraq, and national security versus the public's right to know. So we want to hear from you on this holiday weekend. What does being patriotic mean to you? Give us a call at 1-800-807-2620. And we'll air some of the responses later this hour. Now we want your feedback. Is there a story you want to know more about? Our team will work to get it to you this hour. It's our flash feedback, where you choose the news. E-mail us at weekends@cnn.com and we'll update you throughout the hour. Our top story now, NASA hopes the third time will be the charm. Tonight, the crew of Space Shuttle Discovery remains on earth after a second scrubbed launch. But if things go right, the fireworks won't be the only thing lighting up the sky on the Fourth of July. CNN's Daniel Sieberg reports.</s>DANIEL SIEBERG, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It was Ground Hog Day all over again for "Discovery's" crew on Sunday. For the second day in a row, the seven astronauts went through the motions, walking out and waving to the cameras, getting in to their bulky space suits, even wedging into position inside the orbiter. But before the hatch door was closed about two hours before scheduled launch, NASA made the call that no one wanted the hear.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You scrub for today. That puts us into a 48- hour scrub turnaround posture for another launch attempt. Our third launch attempt on Tuesday, July the fourth at 2:38 p.m.</s>SIEBERG: Poor weather, including thunderstorms and lightning in the area was blamed for the scrub.</s>JOHN SHANNON, CHMN., MISSION MANAGEMENT: Nobody is going to remember that we scrubbed a day or two days a year from now, but if we go launch and get struck by lightning or have some other problem, that will be very memorable. So we're going to -- since we've taken this much time, we're going to make sure that the weather conditions are right and we'll launch when we're ready.</s>SIEBERG: The next launch attempt will be Tuesday at 2:38 in the afternoon. And NASA would love the rockets' red glare to celebrate the nation's birthday.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What a great gift NASA could give to the nation to return to the shuttle to operation on independence day.</s>SIEBERG: Right now, there's a 40 percent chance that bad weather will scuttle Tuesday's shuttle launch. But NASA says it'll have to hustle to get everything done on time. Even with the disappointment of two delays, as the saying goes, it's usually better to be on the ground wishing you were flying, rather than flying and wishing you were on the ground. Daniel Sieberg, CNN, at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.</s>ROESGEN: Well, you can watch the next attempted launch of Shuttle Discovery live right here on CNN. Again, liftoff is scheduled for Tuesday, July Fourth at 2:38 p.m. Eastern Time. And our coverage will start at the top of the hour.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We heard that he was shot. My imagination just imagined him just being on the floor by himself. And me not being there to pick him up.</s>ROESGEN: A war that's thousands of miles away comes home. We'll remember the soldier who became the 2500th U.S. servicemen to die in Iraq at 10 minutes after.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Beating up on "The New York Times" is red meat for the conservative base. But I don't think this is all politics.</s>ROESGEN: Treason or constitutional freedom? "The New York Times" is at the heart of a controversy. And it's got people talking about the nature of patriotism. The fallout amid the fireworks at 31 after. And to some, he's just Bill Carter. But to others, he is the living lyric of an American classic. At 53 after, a story more than 60 years in the making.
