...annual tradition - and the glitziest Washington gets - this year's Honors marks the first presided over by the Obamas as the First Couple. Among the 300 guests in attendance were Mikhail Baryshnikov, Matthew Broderick, Harry Connick, Jr., Jane Krakowski, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Barbara Walters, Nora Ephron, Ed Norton and a number of Congressmen and cabinet members. "I think that this was a beautiful night," said Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota...

The story was sourced to an interview by an unnamed Arab TV channel with American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh. Hersh immediately denounced the report as "complete madness" to another Pakistani paper, the Daily Times, saying, "Vice President Cheney does not have a death squad ... I have never suggested that [McChrystal] was involved in political assassinations or death squads." Yet at a press briefing the same day, Pakistan's Information...
