SPECIAL REPORT
FURTHER INTO THE ATF WEB OF IDIOCY

A radical American-born cleric wanted by Yemen and the United States has been killed in Yemen in a drone and jet strike that news reports say was coordinated by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.

Anwar al-Awlaki was killed early Friday while riding in a convoy in eastern Yemen. Western news organizations quote U.S. officials as saying the raid was coordinated by the CIA and led by U.S. Joint Special Operations Command, the counterterrorism unit that led the May operation killing Osama bin Laden.

Fayetteville, NC – September 8, 2011 - “Goooooooooood Morning, Vietnam!” If you’re a Vietnam veteran, you know the name - and voice - of Adrian Cronauer. If you’re not, you’re probably familiar with the 1987 movie of the same name, which was loosely based on Cronauer’s experience as a disc jockey for Armed Forces Radio in Saigon. It’s fitting, then, that Cronauer will be the spokesperson for the first ever Heroes Homecoming, Fayetteville/Cumberland County’s 10-day celebration giving Vietnam veterans the welcome home they deserve but never received.

China said Tuesday that officials will examine whether regulations were violated by arms manufacturers who met in July with envoys from Moammar Gadhafi's then-ruling Libyan government.

Spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Wednesday the government will strengthen its oversight of military exports.

"Our line of communication with the NTC is smooth, and the instability in Libya is temporary, but our further relations with Libya are long-term and we continue to stay in close contact with Libya to promote the steady development of bilateral relations."
