It's possible to compile news and post to a news page (not index.php though!) with WebTemplates Hack.
However considering the fact that you already applied Logician News Hack, you really wouldnt need WebTemplate for news. Logician News has more features for news like taking some part of the news, parsing smilies (Web Templates new release will do it too), having sticky news etc. So for news I suggest using Logician News, not Web Templates.
If you are tending to use WebTemplates, yes you can though. Just create a web query to compile data from your db and create a webtemplate to post them away. But it would be a little awkard at the moment since smilies, bbcode cant be parsed for example and you are for sure need show.php to display this page.
BTW. why to you want to combine both of them? The only reason I can think of is to apply vb access permissions to your news page and except this you wouldnt need to integrate two, would you?
