."The
report -- subtitled "How Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez manipulated
Justice and Ignored Rule of Law" -- was a joint effort by
minority leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Republican-led
House's Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees."The facts
surrounding this quid pro quo show that Perez may have exceeded the
scope of the ethics and professional-responsibility opinions he received
from the department and thereby violated his duties of loyalty and confidentiality
to the United States. Perez also misled senior Justice Department officials
about the quid pro quo," the report states.But congressional Democrats put
out a statement and memo of their own late Sunday refuting the
details.The statement said the "overwhelming evidence" indicates Perez and
others "acted professionally to advance the interests of civil rights and
effectively combat the scourge of discrimination in housing." They said
the decision not to intervene in the suit against St. Paul was
based on expert recommendations."Instead of identifying inappropriate conduct
by Mr. Perez, it appears that the accusations against him are part
of a broader political campaign to undermine the legal safeguards against
discrimination that Mr. Perez was protecting," they said.

higher in ranking than the Bronze Star and the Purple
Heart, but lower than the Silver Star.Panetta said the new medal, for
only a small number of service men and women, reflected battlefield contributions
in a world of changing warfare. He said that remotely piloted aircraft
and cyber systems have changed the way that wars are fought and
can change the course of a conflict from afar.But the Veterans of
Foreign Wars and other groups sent a letter to President Obama in
March, asking him to keep the medal ranked below the Purple Heart,
which is awarded for combat injuries. Critics said the ranking was an
injustice to those troops who risked their lives in battle.The right decision
was made, the VFW said Monday. This decision will clearly keep medals
that can only be earned in combat in their high order of
precedence, while providing proper recognition to all who support our war-fighters
regardless of their distance from the fight.The American Legion's national
commander, James E. Koutz, said Hagel's decision keeps the evolving roles
of military combat in proper perspective."Cyber and drone warfare have become
part of the equation for 21st-century combat, and those who fight such
battles with distinction certainly deserve to be recognized," Koutz said
in a statement. "But the American Legion still believes there's a fundamental
difference between those who fight remotely, or via computer, and those
fighting against an enemy who is trying t

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">Arkansas House members failed to approve a budget bill for a plan
to use federal Medicaid dollars to buy private health insurance for low-income
residents, slowing the Legislature to a crawl in what was expected to
be its final week of meetings.The House voted 69-28 in favor, leaving
the "private option" proposal six votes short of the 75 votes needed
for it to pass. The plan would let Arkansas use federal Medicaid
funds to buy private insurance for low-income residents under the new federal
health care plan.Legislators had already approved a bill setting up the
program, but an attached budget bill needs a supermajority -- three-fourths
of each chamber -- before it can take effect. The proposal also
requires final approval from the federal government, which has endorsed
the concept but wants to see specifics.A Friday vote had been set,
but House leaders who support the bill delayed work so representatives could
explain the plan to constituents. After Monday's vote, the House immediately
adjourned until Tuesday. Leading lawmakers had previously said they wanted
to finish up work for this year's legislative session by this Friday.Gov.
Mike Beebe said after the vote that legislators should just end the
session if they don't plan to reconsider and pass the bill, and
that he would not call a special session for them to consider
it again."If they don't pass it tomorrow, then shut the session down
and go home," Beebe told reporters after Monda
to continue,"
he said. "We are taking the prudent steps that we've talked about,
in terms of ensuring that our homeland is defended and our allies
are defended."He added: "Any absence of provocative behavior or unhelpful
rhetoric is a good thing in this case, but, again, I would
not suggest that we believe the cycle of behavior has ended necessarily.
We are -- as monitoring this as closely today as we were
over the weekend and in previous days and weeks.And taking the necessary
measures and working with our partners and allies to make clear to
North Korea what the result of that kind of decision would be,
in terms of condemnation and isolation and further sanction."Carney said
the administration is engaging the Russians and Chinese in efforts to pressure
North Korea to back down.Meanwhile, North Koreans celebrated the birthday
of their first leader Monday by dancing in plazas and snacking on
peanuts, with little hint of the fiery language that has kept the
international community fearful that a missile launch may be imminent.Pyongyang
fired off a rocket ahead of the last anniversary of Kim Il
Sung's birth -- the centennial -- but this time the day was
simply the start of a two-day holiday for Pyongyang residents who spilled
into the streets.Elsewhere in the region, however, the focus remained on
the threat of a launch as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry
wrapped up a tour to coordinate Washington's response with Beijing, North
Kore
