JOHN ROBERTS, CNN SENIOR NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: John Roberts here in New York. More from Afghanistan in just a moment. But first, a couple stories that are breaking here at home. CNN has learned that Bob Ney, a six-term Republican Congressman from Ohio, will become the first lawmaker to admit to criminal wrongdoing in connection with the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. Sources tell us that there is no formal deal yet, only that the Congressman has agreed to plead guilty. We expect to get more specifics on that tomorrow. So stay tuned to CNN. Congressman Ney, by the way, has entered an alcohol treatment center for rehabilitation. And Jack Abramoff, you'll recall, pleaded guilty earlier this year to conspiring to corrupt members of Congress and other public officials.</s>BEVAN K. BAKER, MILWAUKEE COMM. OF HEALTH: At this time the preliminary epidemiological data suggests that bagged fresh spinach is the possible cause of the outbreak. No specific lot or brand of product has been identified at this time. Based on this information, the FDA currently advises consumers not to eat bagged fresh spinach at this time.</s>ROBERTS: At least 50 people in nine states have become sick. Wisconsin has reported the most cases, including one death. The other states affected include Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico, Washington and Utah. The victims have been as young as 9 and as old as 78. The majority, though, have been women over the age of 20. No specific brand or manufacturer has been implicated. Those are headlines from New York. Our special report, "Afghanistan: The Forgotten War," with Anderson Cooper continues after this.
