The Last Tweets From An American Jihadist In Somalia link here
Omar Hammami grew up in a [Muslim-Christian family link] in the small of town of Daphne, Ala., but ended up in southern Somalia on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist list. Last week, Hammami was reportedly killed by members of al-Shabab, the al-Qaida-linked militant group, after a falling out with its leadership.
He also went by the name of Abu Mansoor Al-Amriki, or "the American."
The story of how a young, charismatic kid from Alabama became a self-described terrorist has fascinated many people, including counterterrorism expert J.M. Berger, author of Jihad Joe: Americans Who Go to War in the Name of Islam.
On March 16, 2012, Hammami got a lot more interesting when he uploaded a video to YouTube, a virtual message in a bottle. Speaking directly to the camera in Arabic and then repeating the message in English, a grim-faced Omar made a shaky plea for help.
"To whomever it may reach from the Muslims … I record this message today because I fear my life may be endangered by [al-Shabab] because of some differences that occurred regarding matters of the sharia and of strategy."

DC NAVY YARD 'Stand Down' Controversy Continues to Reverberate on Capitol Hill link here
The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, had no knowledge until late Tuesday of allegations first reported by the BBC that a heavily armed Capitol Police team was told to stand down when it arrived at the scene.
Part of the animosity stems from the fact that Issa fought tooth and nail to get Pickering to testify in a private deposition. When Pickering finally agreed to talk, Issa kept it under wraps for months and ignored the substance of Pickering's testimony.
This, of course, is what Pickering feared all along, which is why he resisted Issa's deposition invitation in May and offered instead to testify in public before the committee. But Issa balked at the idea and used the threat of subpoena to bring him into a closed door deposition. It was only until Thursday that Pickering and Mullen finally testified in public, much to the relief of the Oversight Committee's ranking member, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD).

Issa debunks Issa on Benghazi
BENGHAZI MORE documents disprove GOP claims link here
Earlier this week, House Oversight Committee chairman Darrell Issa released a scathing critique of the State Department's investigation into the Benghazi incident. Hours later, the committee quietly released documents that run against a number of claims in Issa's report, including the idea that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was to blame for security failures in Benghazi.
Issa's report said ""the ARB was not comprehensive; it did not conduct thorough interviews, it was plagued by conflicts of interest; and the board failed to hold senior State Department officials accountable, such as Clinton."" BUT The retired admiral [Mullen] added that it was impossible to peg Clinton to the security failures because she was too far removed from those decisions. "[W]e found no evidence whatsoever that [Secretary Clinton] was involved in security decisions [in Libya]," he said.

BUSINESS GROUPS HATE GOVT GRIDLOCK ""do something, anything, to help economy"" link here
Groups representing all sizes of the private sector are ramping up calls for Washington to do something – anything – to help the economy, rather than hurt it.
“It’s exasperating because there are real consequences,” said David French, top lobbyist for the National Retail Federation. “The business community sometimes feels like it’s a hostage situation, and they prefer not to have a front row seat.“
They urged Congress to promptly raise the debt ceiling, but refused to call one party out over another.

House "Gang of 7" loses 2 more GOP members (was gang of 8, is now gang of 5) link here
Texas GOP Reps. Sam Johnson and John Carter said in a joint statement that they decided to leave the “gang of seven” because of “a lack of faith in President [Barack] Obama to enforce the current and new laws necessary to solve the immigration problem.”
The first Republican to leave the one-time “gang of eight” earlier this year was Rep. Raúl R. Labrador of Idaho, citing irreconcilable differences with the other members.
That now leaves a “gang of five” with one lone Republican: Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida. The Democrats are Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra and his fellow Californian Zoe Lofgren, Luis V. Gutierrez of Illinois and John Yarmuth of Kentucky.
