uprisings taking place and in march he was imprisoned for five months. once released in august, he decided to stay. this loyalty stemmed from the way matthew was raised to follow through with a commitment. >> i said once he was released from prison when i was instilling in him that value as he was growing up, i was referring to maybe playing sports for one season and don't quit in the middle of the season, i didn't have in mind fighting a war in another country. >> she said he sounds like he is in good spirits. all she is focused now is his homecoming. >> van dyke plans to spend time in cairo before coming back to baltimore. once he is back, his mom says they have a lot of people to thank. >> one man is dead after an

note at the scene, but wouldn't elaborate on the contents. >> nice fall day today and started off with sun and ended with clouds. doppler making my job pretty easy. no rain to speak of as we are under the influence of high pressure. right now at the airport, it is 56 degrees. you can see the high pressure. and then at the inner harbor, up at 60. there is rain in the forecast next week, but nothing to worry about tomorrow. i'll break it down for you in a couple of minutes. >> orioles brooks robinson joined the short list today of great athletes honored in baltimore in bronze. we are live with more on it. >> babe ruth and others joins brooks robinson and joins the best of the best and the hall of

it out but a week after troops pushed into somalia to attack militants. they carried out attacks in july which killed 76 people. president obama's announcement that all u.s. troops will be headed home from iraq before the end of the year is drawing mixed reaction from military families and from the candidates who want his job. here's brian moore. >> i can say that our troops in iraq will definitely be home for the holidays. >> president obama's decision to pull the last u.s. troops out of iraq is welcome news for military spouses. >> it's great and for the troops to be home. >> a sentiment he can echoed by veterans. >> we are losing family members for no reason. >> veterans in iraq and afghanistan, they have met every challenge throughout this entire war. >> but there are questions, whether the mission really is

accomplished and whether iraq can fend for itself. on the campaign trail, the candidates who want to take president obama's job are asking, why now. >> was the president's administration outnegotiated by the iraqi lead sners >> and they are questioning whether the timing was military or political. >> all too often this administration has played politics instead of making sure that our men and women in uniform are what is most important. >> i predict we will be very much involved in iraq. >> the mixed emotions here in the states are reflected on the streets of baghdad where many welcome a future free of u.s. forces and now there is worry whether the country can stand on its own. >> and pete's here with sports. >> more on brook. and the terps -- see if they can rectify things in tallahassee.

clouds will lift and we will be under partly cloudy conditions. we are keeping an eye on this very weak cold front that will make its way through our area on monday, could bring a spotty shower here and there. but way out west, there is a disturbance up here that could bring us some rain come wednesday and thursday. we'll keep an eye on that. here's what we are talking about as far as the freeze and frost warnings. for the western portion of the state. national weather service has issued a freeze advisory for the greater baltimore area starting at 2:00 a.m. tonight through 9:00 a.m. in the morning. doesn't mean we will have a frost, but if you have plants, you may want to cover or bring them in so they don't get damaged or die. if you are heading out tomorrow in the morning, brisk conditions under partly cloudy skies. 40 degrees and then at noon, we get up to 60 and by the evening, as long as we don't get too many

>> i thought about what i was going to say when this statue was unveiled. one thing i thought of going back to chuck thompson who announced baseball and football and would do something remarkable or something spectacular, the first words of his mouth were, go to war, miss agnes. >> fond memories there indeed. maryland nearly pulled the upset of the season against clemon. the terps rgs fourth loss in five games. today, three out of four. going with the white shell helmets for the first time this season did not help them play defense. opening drive of the game, third and goal, escapes the pressure. darts right. nice little block. in for the touchdown, 7-0, seminoles.

manuel, wasn't a great pass, but it worked. shaw, 26 yards. 14-0 in the first quarter. fourth quarter, florida state leads it 24-10. maybe trying to snap a four-game losing streak. second quarter, davis, swing pass to bowman. 10-yard touchdown. second half quick off, thomas, looks fairly routine up the middle. except for the fact that he is not stopped. the pirates thought he was stopped. and they said arrrgh! where did he go. 17-14. right now in the fourth quarter, east carolina with the lead. johns hopkins made the short trip to gettysburg and avoided an ambush. and 83-21.

>> this is a wbal tv editorial from the president and general manager. >> annapolis was once again cloaked in political bickering with the state legislator back at work on a redistricting plan. these meetings were steeped in debate as democrats argued that it reflects changing demographics while republicans insisted is nothing but party politics. besides politics, race is being pulled into the debate as state g.o.p.ers and several minority groups remain dissatisfied with the districts. regardless of how the lines get drawn, both parties concede that this is afforded the majority. that sentiment about what is broken about the political process right now. our elected officials serve at the pleasure of the voter so the voters' agenda should not be lost in any debate. it's our state capital and in our nation capital, the appearance of party politics has most constituents convinced that

they have been left out of the equation. be it the voter districts or federal jobs bill, right now we need our elected leaders focused on the issues i will pakistanning our daily lives. we applaud effort by our governor and legislators to make the voting process a more accurate reflection of our communities but never at the expense of getting what the voters need done. for more on maryland's redistricting plan log on to wbaltv.com and
