...body of clinical-trial evidence showing that routine screening reduces breast-cancer deaths; the task force attests to that as well. But while everybody, to varying extent, agrees that mammograms are beneficial, what's less clear is the age at which routine mammography screening should begin. That depends in part on breast cancer risk, which increases with age - for every 100,000 women, the risk of developing breast cancer is 1 in 69 in women in their 40s, 1 in 38 in women in their 50s, and 1 in 27 among women in their...
...Dick Cheney attacked Obama on Fox News Channel for dismantling the policies he and Bush had put in place to keep the country safe. More significant was the reaction within Obama's camp. Democratic pollsters charted a disturbing trend: a drop in Obama's support among independents, driven in part by national-security issues. Emanuel quietly delegated his aides to get more deeply involved in the process. Damaged by the episode, Craig was about to suffer his first big setback...
...move was part of a global game to empty the prison. If the two settled without incident, six more would be let into the U.S. That in turn would help the State Department persuade other countries to take Gitmo detainees.

...that's part of a controversy. A senior U.S. Navy official said that this is the first time since the plague of Somali pirates erupted in the Indian Ocean that a major cargo shipping line deterred pirates with gunfire. While commercial shipping lines have been leery of hiring armed security forces for their vessels, "we clearly think that if you value your cargo, you need that last line of defense," said Vice Adm. Bill Gortney, commander of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet responsible for the seas in that part of the world.(See photos of the pirates of Somalia...
That is most likely to be the U.S. government's response as well. As part of her unannounced (but hardly secret) visit, Clinton had dinner and a long conversation with Karzai the night before the ceremony and was expected to have delivered strong words. En route to Kabul, she told reporters traveling with her that Karzai's government had started to tackle corruption, "but not nearly enough." Part of that reservation may have had something to do with Karzai's two Vice Presidents also being sworn in, Mohammad Qasim Fahim and Karim Khalili. Both have been accused by Afghan civil...
