Obama Regrets Drone Strike That Killed Hostages But Hails US For Transparency
The President took “full responsibility” for the “accidental” deaths of Dr. Warren Weinstein, a US government aid worker, and Giovanni Lo Porto, an Italian aid worker. The two were being held hostage in an al-Qaeda compound when a drone strike targeted the facility based on “near-certain” intelligence that it was “frequented” by at least one al-Qaeda leader.

Jeb Bush Says NSA Surveillance is “the best part of the Obama administration”

Thanks to the Fed and a go-go financial climate, it’s cheaper than ever to borrow money. And while municipalities have issued a record $130 billion bonds, very little of that money is being used to rebuild America’s crumbling infrastructure. Too bad the Pentagon can’t find $1.3 billion in emergency reconstruction aid spent in Afghanistan. It sure could come in handy.
WHY
Comcast Plans to Drop Time Warner Cable Deal
Bloomberg is reporting that Comcast’s contentious bid to create an unprecedented cable & media behemoth… is about to go the way of the dodo bird. In recent months, consumer advocates and key members of Congress have applied a great deal of pressure on FCC regulators and Department of Justice officials reviewing the epic bid.
