| Army beefs up leadership at troubled Lewis-McChord base Posted: SEATTLE (Reuters) - The U.S. Army announced a new layer of command at Joint Base Lewis-McChord on Thursday as it looks to strengthen leadership at the Tacoma, Washington-area post which has earned a reputation as one of the most troubled in the U.S. military. The joint Army-Air Force base, with 43,000 active-duty military personnel and some 14,000 civilian employees, most recently attracted attention as the home base of Robert Bales, the staff sergeant accused of massacring 17 Afghan villagers in March. It was also home for a so-called "kill team," convicted of wartime atrocities in 2010. ... |

| Bombs kill 10, wound 18 in Iraq's Diyala: sources Posted: BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Ten people were killed and 18 others wounded when two explosions struck a popular coffee shop in the restive Iraqi province of Diyala, security sources said on Thursday. Diyala province, a fertile agricultural area, has long been one of the most volatile regions in Iraq, inhabited by a mix of Sunnis, Shi'ites and Kurds. The attacks took place in a mainly Sunni village on the outskirts of Baquba, 65 km (40 miles) northeast of Baghdad, a policeman in the village and a source in Diyala operations command said. ... |
| The Jokes Too Hot for the White House Correspondents' Dinner Posted: For stand-up comedians, pulling off a successful stint at the White House Correspondents' Dinner is an uphill battle. Your audience is famously stiff and they also happen to be some of the most powerful people in the world. As Brian Williams once told SNL's Seth Myers "[It's the] toughest room in the business – no man comes out unscathed. Even the knees of brave Achilles would go to jelly were he to stand behind that podium. ... |
| Andrew von Eschenbach's Rx for FDA Posted: Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach stepped down as the head of the Food and Drug Administration in 2009, but he doesn't think his work with the agency is done. Eschenbach, who now heads Project FDA at the conservative Manhattan Institute, says that efforts in Congress to push for changes through the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, under which drug companies pick up a big chunk of the tab for FDA reviews, aren't enough. Without a structural overhaul, he says, the regulator is on the verge of "catastrophic failure." Edited excerpts from his conversation with National Journal follow. |
| Joe Biden Blasts Mitt Romney for 'Cold War Mindset' Posted: Vice President Joe Biden today delivered the sharpest attack to date on Mitt Romney over foreign policy, accusing the former governor of harboring a "cold war mindset," ignoring the facts of President Obama's record, and waffling on the importance of hunting down Osama bin Laden.... |
| Posted: The Parachute Manufacturing industry has been on a wild ride over the past five years. The industry's performance is highly volatile due to its dependence on government expenditure and the fluctuating cost of nylon (which is linked to oil prices). IBISWorld estimates that the United States' involvement in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has helped drive revenue up over the period. Over the next five years, however, troop withdrawals from Afghanistan and a lower defense budget will drag down revenue. Also contributing to falling revenue will be suppressed demand from the commercial market. ... |

Mrs. Kleyne recently interviewed Mr. Solomon for a second time to learn if any progress has been made to resolve the crisis. There has not. ... |
| Posted: Joe Biden was never much good when it came to running for the top job. In fact, he was a disaster. Back in 1988, Biden dropped out ignominiously amid allegations of plagiarism. In 2008, when he thought he'd be a real contender after spending 36 years in the Senate, Biden received a pathetic 1 percent of the Iowa caucus vote. |

Standing outside the local seat of the Special Court for Sierra Leone in Freetown, Jalloh's hand-painted sign said it all: "Orphans, widows, widowers, rape victims, amputees, and all the war affected, wipe your tears as the dawn of justice has come. ... |

| Omission Accomplished: Marco Rubio's Telling Failure to Mention Iraq Posted: Perusing the text of Marco Rubio's foreign-policy speech at the Brookings Institution, I notice a word that doesn't appear: Iraq. It's so hard to believe that I've read the speech twice and executed a word search three times. Did he think no one would notice? The senator from Florida has given a lengthy address about the wisdom of American intervention without so much as acknowledging the most consequential foreign intervention that we've undertaken in decades. This is the same Marco Rubio who says that George W. ... |
