Brian Oxman, attorney and former Jackson spokesman, says investigators are moving appropriately meticulously in this high-profile environment. "This is a long process," he says. "No one is going to cut any corners on this." He says he has spoken to Jackson family members who are "following this closely. They are eager but satisfied so far." As far as the look into Murray's office, Oxman says he believes the DEA was searching for something specific and "significant. This was not a fishing expedition."

...wiser alternative may be to stand down, for a while. "Turn away and whistle," an Iranian academic suggested recently. Don't abandon the nuclear-sanctions process, but don't force it, either.

Those were among the excellent questions hurled at the President, and he countered only with partial responses and vague rhetoric...
...commitment to the Jewish state, then presidential candidate Barack Obama declared, "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided." Those words, which he later qualified, may now be coming back to haunt the President as he seeks to restart the moribund Israeli-Palestinian peace process by getting Israel to freeze all construction outside its pre-1967 borders. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has drawn a line in the sand over Jerusalem, vehemently rejecting Washington's demand that he halt a construction project in the Arab eastern portion of the city that was occupied by Israel...
