WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: And to our viewers, you're in THE SITUATION ROOM, where new pictures and information are arriving all the time. Standing by, CNN reporters across the United States and around the world to bring you today's top stories. Happening now, hundreds of thousands of people on the march for immigration reform. It's 1:00 p.m. in Phoenix, Arizona, one of several cities where demonstrations are beginning right now. Can the protesters break the immigration impasse on Capitol Hill?
Also this hour, how far would President Bush go to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons? It's 4:00 here in Washington where Mr. Bush is dismissing a stunning new report as, quote, "wild speculation." The president is trying to cool another red-hot controversy, his release of classified documents to build support for the Iraq war. Will his words satisfy critics who are calling on the White House to, quote, "come clean?"
