WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Oversight and controls for more than $40 billion in U.S. funds to rebuild Afghanistan have been "sloppy" so far despite lessons from Iraq, the U.S. chief inspector for Afghanistan reconstruction said on Tuesday.
FORT HOOD, Texas (Reuters) - President Barack Obama vowed on Tuesday to make sure the gunman who killed 13 people in a rampage at a U.S. Army base in Texas pays for his crimes.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Two former Bear Stearns hedge fund managers were found not guilty of fraud, a decision that could make government prosecutors less likely to bring criminal charges against Wall Street executives for their role in the financial crisis.

#tsrp #security New #jihad code threatens #alQaeda #tcot #sgp Leaders of one of the world's most effective jihadist organizations, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), have written a new 417-page religious document/CODE entitled "Corrective Studies" for jihad. The code's most direct challenge to al Qaeda is this: ..."Jihad has ethics and morals because it is for God. That means it is forbidden to kill women, children, elderly people, priests, messengers, traders and the like. Betrayal is prohibited and it is vital to keep promises and treat prisoners of war in a good way.
Standing by those ethics is what distinguishes Muslims' jihad from the wars of other nations." In essence the new code for jihad is exactly what the West has been waiting for: a credible challenge from within jihadist ranks to al Qaeda's ideology.
While the code states that jihad is permissible if Muslim lands are invaded -- citing the cases of Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine -- the guidelines it sets down for when and how jihad should be fought, and its insistence that civilians should not be targeted are a clear rebuke to the goals and tactics of bin Laden's terrorist network. -MJRead More

MJ Santos #tsrp #economy #tcot #sgp #US Treasury turned down Fannie Mae's request to sell ca. $2.6 bn in low-income housing tax credits to Goldman Sachs. It was nixed because it wasn't in Tax payers' best interests.(Berkshire Hathaway also had interest.) Over past 5 quarters Fannie has lost $85 bn. Goldman could have used LIHTCs to reduce its tax burden to US Govt. -MJ

MJ Santos #fusionist #quote #MJSANTOS ANY Relationship is like a HIRING situation. There are usually many people applying. An interviewer (YOU) needs to have ways of quickly FILTERING thru & disqualifying unacceptable CANDIDATES. A REAL SAVVY interviewer will have ways of quickly finding the EXCEPTIONAL candidates. KEY: KNOW YOURSELF, WHAT YOU WANT and HAVE YOUR QUESTIONS HANDY AT ALL TIMES. -MJ
