The FBI has a list of its top ten terror cases of the year. It was written before this weekend's Detroit plane incident, so I'd say the two biggest are David Headley and Najibullah Zazi. Tomorrow it will list its biggest fraud and corruption cases.

CBS posts its list of top 20 crime cases of the year, most I've never heard of. No mention of Bernie Madoff or Phil Spector's murder conviction. It does get Ft. Hood, Roman Polanski, the murder of Dr. George Tiller and Amanda Knox. It also includes the guy who allegedly tried to extort money from David Letterman.

And what about the Somali pirate? Plaxico Burress? Bernie Kerik? Any others you can think of?

    You really have to wonder what that's all about.

    Bury that 800lb gorilla and bury it fast. Into the buzzsaw.

    Who does Bernie know at CBS?

    How did Fort Hood fail to make the list?
