Militants' images, string of blasts rock Iraq

Posted: 15 Jun 2014 12:06 PM PDT

This image posted on a militant website on Saturday, June 14, 2014, which has been verified and is consistent with other AP reporting, appears to show militants from the al-Qaida-inspired Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) leading captured Iraqi soldiers wearing plain clothes to an open field moments before shooting them in Tikrit, Iraq. The Islamic militant group that seized much of northern Iraq has posted photos that appear to show its fighters shooting dead dozens of captured Iraqi soldiers in a province north of the capital Baghdad. Iraq's top military spokesman Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi confirmed the photos' authenticity on Sunday and said he was aware of cases of mass murder of Iraqi soldiers.

Romney says President Barack Obama could have done more to dissuade Russia from annexing Crimea. Romney said Obama didn't have the foresight to anticipate Russia's intentions. He told CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday, March 23, 2014, that Obama's "naivete" and "faulty judgment" about Russia has led to a number of foreign policy challenges. He said the U.S. should now welcome nations that seek entry into NATO, should forgo cuts to the nation's military budget and reconsider putting a missile defense system into the Czech Republic and Poland, as once planned.(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)The 2012 Republican presidential nominee had some harsh words on Sunday for the person many believe will be the Democratic nominee in 2016: Hillary Clinton.

The Clinton Costco circus

Posted: 15 Jun 2014 08:15 AM PDT

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton smiles as she signs copies of her book "Hard Choices" at a Costco store in Arlington, VirginiaThe throngs of people were officially there for Clinton to sign their discount copies of "Hard Choices," the former Secretary of State's book about her time in the Obama administration. In reality, Clinton herself was the least visible part of the whole, circus-like event. The average Costco patron couldn't even sneak a glimpse of her, as her book signing took place behind a giant fortress of water bottles and paper towel rolls, built by Costco employees using forklifts in the wee hours of Saturday morning. All that traveled over that bulk-product brick wall was the occasional laugh — was it Clinton's? Or someone else's? It was hard to know for sure — and the sound of clicking press cameras. Clinton fans weren't allowed to bring theirs past the security checkpoint.

US orders aircraft carrier to Gulf, Iran offers help

Posted: 14 Jun 2014 08:15 PM PDT

The United States ordered an aircraft carrier into the Gulf Saturday over the Iraq crisis, where Sunni Arab jihadists have seized a swathe of the country, as Shiite Iran said it would consider helping foe Washington should it take action. The order came as Iraqi commanders said that soldiers had recaptured two towns north of Baghdad, and thousands of volunteers answered a call to arms from top Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. US President Barack Obama said he was "looking at all the options" to halt the offensive that has brought Sunni Arab militants within 50 miles (80 kilometres) of Baghdad's city limits, but ruled out any return of US combat troops. "We will not be sending US troops back into combat in Iraq, but I have asked my national security team to prepare a range of other options that could help support Iraqi security forces," he said.

The U.S. government's aggressive prosecution of leaks and efforts to control information are having a chilling effect on journalists and government whistle-blowers, according to a report released Thursday on U.S. press freedoms under the Obama administration. Manning provided information to the anti-secrecy group Wikileaks. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)The detained US soldier convicted of leaking a trove of secret documents to WikiLeaks made a rare foray into public life Saturday to warn Americans they were being lied to about Iraq once more. Chelsea Manning is serving a 35-year prison sentence on espionage charges and other offenses for passing along 700,000 secret documents, including diplomatic cables and military intelligence files, to anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks in the largest-scale leak in US history. However, the concerns that motivated me have not been resolved," the soldier formerly known as Bradley Manning wrote in a New York Times editorial. "As Iraq erupts in civil war and America again contemplates intervention, that unfinished business should give new urgency to the question of how the United States military controlled the media coverage of its long involvement there and in Afghanistan."
