An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an
Leaked documents suggest Canada helped the United States and Britain spy on participants at the London G20 summit four years ago. Britain’s Guardian newspaper says spies monitored the computers and intercepted the phone calls of foreign politicians and officials at two G20 meetings in London in 2009. The paper says the effort included penetration of delegates’ BlackBerry
With the Supreme Court preparing to deliver two landmark decisions on same-sex marriage, the Justice Department on Tuesday celebrated gay pride with speeches by Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., Sen. Tammy Baldwin, Wisconsin Democrat, the first openly gay member of the Senate, and singer-songwriter and lesbian activist Melissa Etheridge. In what was billed as “A Year of Firsts” by the
Months before the Obama administration said it had concluded that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons against rebels, the Pentagon began drawing on the expertise of obscure military experts to develop plans to reduce the risks from Syria’s massive stockpile of the banned munitions. U.S. military officials were sent to Jordan to develop a
Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., was founded by televangelist Jerry Falwell. Its publications carry the slogan “Training Champions for Christ since 1971.” Some of those champions are now being trained to pilot armed drones, and others to pilot more traditional aircraft, in U.S. wars. For Christ. Liberty bills itself as “one of America’s top military-friendly
President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act fails to address the problem of escalating health care costs, according to testimony by health care experts at a committee hearing Tuesday. Steven Brill, a health care writer and contributing editor to Time, told members of the Senate Finance Committee that while the act, more commonly known as Obamacare, may extend coverage
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has renewed a drought emergency in more than 200 counties throughout the state, authorizing “all necessary measures” be implemented to aid response efforts. “Prolonged dry conditions continue to increase the threat of wildfire across many portions of the state,” the governor’s proclamation said this week. “These drought conditions have reached historic
Come rain, wind or sunshine, weather has long been one of Britain’s main topics of conversation. Now it has also become a mystery. Meteorologists and climate scientists are meeting Tuesday to discuss why this traditionally temperate country has recently experienced icy winters, washed-out summers and the coldest spring in a half-century. Scientist Stephen Belcher, who
Russian politicians have voted to restrict adoptions from countries that allow same-sex marriage. The proposal was passed unanimously in the Duma lower house of parliament, and could ban even single people in more than a dozen countries from adopting Russian orphans. President Vladimir Putin has already vowed to sign the bill into law when it
Thousands of civilian workers at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center — the country’s top facility for wounded combat soldiers — are facing furloughs this summer, as a result of sequester and other federal budget problems, according to the Defense Department. Roughly 2,400 workers at the suburban Washington facility were recently notified by letter
By the time 10-year-old Sarah Murnaghan finally got a lung transplant last week, she’d been waiting for months, and her parents had sued to give her a better shot at surgery. Her cystic fibrosis was threatening her life, and her case spurred a debate on how to allocate donor organs. Lungs and other organs for transplant
Minnows living in waterways tainted with low levels of antidepressants exhibit disturbingly reclusive, hostile and destructive behaviour. A team of scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee found that male fathead minnows showed changes in their behaviour after exposure to commonly-prescribed Zoloft and Prozac. According to an article published in Scientific American, the fish were collected from waterways
Alistair Burt, a Conservative foreign minister, said that the technology represents a “step on” from drones used in Afghanistan because the robots are capable of automatically selecting and killing target. During a debate in the Commons, he accepted concerns raised by MPs that that the technology had potentially “terrifying” implications. However, he said that Britain
Is this photo proof of alien visitors? In a snap that looks straight out of hit sci-fi series The X-Files, two glowing discs hover above a town moments before speeding out of view. They were spotted above Bracknell in Berkshire last Friday by a stunned man who was outside making a phone call. Steve Lambert
The House of Representatives voted this evening to pass legislation to ban abortion after 20 weeks, except in what Democrats assailed as “narrow” cases of incest of a minor, rape, and health of the mother, prompting a partisan debate on the House floor as lawmakers grappled over the question of how soon a fetus is
Scientists are expecting a very large “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico and a smaller than average hypoxic level in the Chesapeake Bay this year, based on several NOAA-supported forecast models. NOAA-supported modelers at the University of Michigan, Louisiana State University, and the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium are forecasting that this year’s Gulf of
Don’t mess with Texans’ email. Ars Technica reports that Texas has become the first state in the United States that requires law enforcement officials to get search warrants before snooping on citizens’ emails. The law only applies to state and local law enforcement officials, however, and won’t apply to federal officials who can still access emails without a warrant
Millions of moths have engulfed Madrid in a population explosion blamed on spring rains, a sudden blast of summer heat and winds that have wafted them in as unwelcome guests to the Spanish capital. Across the city, people are swapping tales of night-time battles to swat moths lured by the light into their bedrooms, a whole new
Using security cameras and algorithms, researchers at Carnegie Mellon created a nursing home monitoring system that “located individuals within one meter of their actual position 88 percent of the time.” That’s great news for people who want to be monitored all the time. For people who prefer to go about their business unobserved, it’s another
