ted was a
nuanced and careful response from Obama and his diplomatic and national
security team. Obama deplored terror, but made clear that the attack was
the result of a cheesy video about the founder of Islam, Mohammed.
"Spontaneous" was the word of the week.As Romney tried to find his
feet on the subject, Republicans began to accuse Obama of laxity. How
could the U.S. not be prepared for an attack on the anniversary
of 9/11? How could the consulate in a city known to be
a home to Islamist radicals be so poorly guarded? What was the
ambassador doing there with such a light security detail?When reporters
made similar, reasonable inquiries, Obama's campaign and administration
dismissed such questions as biased, saying the few members of the press
who pressed the subject were just doing Romney's handiwork.This allowed
Obama to hold the line and prevent greater anxiety or anger in
the electorate. The attack was spontaneous and partly the fault of American
religious radicals, so please stop politicizing this tragedy.But then it
was revealed that there was no riot, spontaneous or otherwise. It had
been a planned, coordinated raid. Further, there had been growing warnings
from the diplomatic team in Libya that trouble was brewing. And while
Obama claimed that Al Qaeda was in tatters, the group seemed to
still be able to strike back.Obama cautioned against rushing to judgment
and said that he and his team's mistakes were no cover up
but r
ncies' own estimates.Heritage found
the costliest regulations between 2009 and Jan. 20, 2013, came out of
the Environmental Protection Agency, with their rules imposing nearly $40
billion in costs. Next in line was the Department of Transportation, followed
by the Department of Energy.The Department of Health and Human Services
was in the middle of the pack, though with regulations from the
federal health care overhaul still in the pipeline, costs associated with
that agency could rise in the years to come.The costliest rule was
issued by both the EPA and Department of Transportation, imposing new fuel
economy standards on U.S. automobiles. It's estimated to cost $10.8 billion
annually, potentially adding $1,800 to the price of a new car as
manufacturers spend more money to comply.Costing nearly as much was an EPA
rule requiring utilities and other fossil fuel plants to limit emissions
-- though part of that rule is still under review.Though environmental rules
were the costliest, Heritage found that the highest number of regulations
in 2012 were actually in the financial field as a result of
the "Dodd-Frank" financial industry overhaul passed by Congress.The Obama
administration acknowledges that EPA rules are the costliest of any agency.
But the administration claims those rules also come with the biggest benefits
-- benefits that far outweigh the costs.A report put out earlier this
year by the White House Office of Management and Bud

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">May 2, 2013: Family and supporters of 18-year-old Abdella Ahmad Tounisi,
including his father, Ahmad Tounisi, left, leave federal court in Chicago.APCHICAGO
Federal prosecutors in Chicago plan to appeal a judge's surprise decision
to release an Illinois teenager charged with seeking to travel abroad and
join an Al Qaeda-linked militant group in Syria.The U.S. Attorney's Office
announced their plan to appeal Thursday afternoon in the case of 18-year-old
Abdella Ahmad Tounisi. Hours earlier, the judge said Tounisi could be released
under home confinement.Judge Daniel Martin stayed his own order for 24 hours
to give prosecutors a chance to appeal. That means Tounisi wasn't immediately
released.Tounisi, an Aurora resident, was arrested at O'Hare International
Airport last month as he allegedly prepared for the first leg of
a trip to join Qaida-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusrah, which is fighting Syrian
President Bashar Assad's regime.In arguing for continued detention, prosecutors
also noted Thursday that Tounisi had allegedly spoken with a friend of
his last year about bombing targets in Chicago. Tounisi is not charged
in that case, though the friend, Adel Daoud, was and is in
jail awaiting trial.After announcing his ruling, the otherwise soft-spoken
U.S. magistrate judge leaned forward on his bench Thursday and raised his
voice, telling the teenager he should take the allegations seriously."This
is no game, Mr. Tounisi. OK?" Judge Martin told hi
May 2, 2013: Shown here is the McLean, Va., home owned by
the government of Saudi Arabia, which was investigated by U.S. Immigration
and Customs (ICE) officials on a report of human trafficking.APFederal officials
are investigating reports of human trafficking at the upscale Virginia home
of a Saudi military attach, after immigration agents removed two domestic
workers from the house earlier this week.Immigration and Customs Enforcement
officers on Tuesday night removed the two alleged victims, Filipino women
who claim the Saudi attach confiscated their passports and made them work
long hours without pay.MyFoxDC.com reports that one of the women had tried
to escape through a gap in the front gate as it was
closing.Officials responded to the McLean, Va., home following a tip that
two workers were being held in circumstances that amounted to human trafficking.According
to real estate records, the Virginia home is owned by the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia's Armed Forces Office. MyFoxDC.com reports that the Saudi
Embassy claims the compound is separate from their operation.Immigrations
and Customs Enforcement says their investigation is ongoing.ICE is investigating
whether there may be other potential victims connected to the home, said
John Torres, ICE's special agent in charge for Homeland Security Investigations
in the Washington field office. He wouldn't discuss the specific allegations
but said that generally in cases of domestic workers, ICE
