International
- The battle for Tripoli continues today. Qaddafi's whereabouts are still unknown; of his purportedly captured sons, Saif appeared at the Rixos Hotel yesterday--it was unclear whether he escaped or was never captured--and Mohammed escaped from house arrest. The sudden rush on the capital was facilitated by NATO bombing and coordination with the national armed services of several NATO countries (if not NATO itself). The pincer movement the rebels have executed has opened space in the east for rebels to take Al-Akila and move on Ras Lanuf.
- Turkey has launched more raids into Northern Iraq, killing some 100 members of the PKK.
- "Cattle raids" between rival tribes in South Sudan have resulted in at least 600 deaths, according to the UN.
- The New York prosecutor in the Strauss-Kahn case has asked the judge to dismiss the case.
Domestic
- Colin isn't the only conservative unhappy with the GOP field.
- Chaffetz out.
- The Obama administration is setting out to reduce the costs of the regulatory state -- Cass Sunstein has led-up the effort, making administrative law geeks everywhere happy.
- And the slow death of the fairness doctrine is over.
