...four Marines charged with murder in the killing of 24 Iraqis, and another four officers charged with dereliction of duty for not relaying accurate information about the killings up the chain of command. The charges send a sharp message of zero tolerance for abuses of civilians to U.S. uniformed personnel in Iraq, but also to Iraqis, whose Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, had branded the incident as emblematic of a contempt for Iraqi civilian life on the part of U.S. forces.

...majors won't have these routes to themselves and may soon face competition for business they once had locked up. Low-cost airlines such as AirTran, JetBlue and Spirit are bidding for part of the $2 billion the Department of Defense spends annually to move personnel and equipment around the world. Traditionally, major passenger and cargo airlines have dominated that business, but they may soon find themselves in a bidding war with the lower-cost carriers...
