Please re-post this in GD or Politics.
It's a good read.

For future reference:

Statement of Purpose for Latest Breaking News Forum

Post the latest news from reputable mainstream news websites and blogs. Important news of national interest only.
No analysis or opinion pieces. No duplicates. News stories must have been published within the last 12 hours.
Use the published title of the story as the title of the discussion thread.

Breaking News - a definition: Facts are relayed without flourishes or interpretation.
A typical news story often constitutes a headline with just enough explanation to orient the reader.
News stories lack the depth of a feature story, or the questioning approach of an investigative story.
Rather, they relay facts, events and information to society in a straightforward, accurate and unbiased manner.
