Coming up on Hardball

Tonight on Hardball: Washington's buzzing about the new Wikileaks document dump and how it could compromise U.S. diplomatic relations. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) says the Wikileakers should be prosecuted. We'll talk with her tonight, and with New York Times reporter Mark Mazzetti, one of the reporters who broke the story.

Then: No Christmas spirit in this House: Republicans want to stop extending unemployment benefits but are pushing to give tax breaks to the wealthy. We'll get the scoop from Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), representatives from states with some of the highest unemployment numbers. Plus, a Hardball debate: The Southern Poverty Law Center labeled the Family Research Council a "hate group�? for its anti-gay views, but the Family Research Council says it's in the middle of an ugly smear campaign. We'll bring on the leaders of both groups to debate.

And then: The FBI busted a young man's attempt to detonate a bomb at an Oregon Christmas tree lighting. We'll sit down with former FBI Deputy Director Phil Mudd to find out how the FBI did it. Don't miss it!
