Is there a way to configure calibre to use IE ( or IE cookies ) to download news pages ?
Are you saying that only IE works (FireFox and Chrome, etc. do not) or just that cookie support is required. I suspect it's just a cookie issue, and yes, the recipe system supports cookies. The recipe has to be written to go to the login page, provide the user/pass, which sets the cookies and then retrieve articles.

I wrote some code like this for Google Reader authentication that you can look at.
