Oops! Langley editors falling down on the job: Osama bin Laden
videotape a repeat<http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=562943> 07
Nov 2009 A videotape of Osama bin Laden released on Friday is a
repeat of a tape released many months ago. IntelCenter, a U.S.-based
terrorism monitoring company, says the latest videotape is the
Pashto-language version of the previously released tape.
Titled "To Our People in Pakistan," the original tape was released
on July 12th in Arabic and Urdu, IntelCenter said Friday. Excerpts
had already been screened by Al-Jazeera television (on June 3rd)
IntelCenter added.
Obusha Saturday night bad news dump update: Obama leaning toward
34,000 more troops for
Afghanistan<http://www.mcclatchydc.com/227/story/78516.html> 07 Nov
2009 President Barack Obama is nearing a decision to send more than
30,000 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan next year, but he may
not announce it until after he consults with key allies and completes
a trip to Asia later this month, administration and military officials
have told McClatchy.
Currently, the administration's plan calls for sending three Army
brigades from the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Ky. and
the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, N.Y. and a Marine brigade,
for a total of as many as 23,000 additional combat and support
troops. [Obusha does most of his bad news dumping on a Saturday,
when people are typically taking a break from Change We Can Deceive

Sweeping Health Care Plan Passes
House<http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/08/health/policy/08health.html> 08
Nov 2009 Handing President Obama a hard-fought victory, the House
narrowly approved a sweeping overhaul of the nations health care
system on Saturday, advancing legislation that the Democrats said
could be their defining social policy achievement. After a daylong
clash with Republicans over what has been a Democratic goal for
decades, lawmakers voted 220 to 215 to approve a plan that would
cost $1.1 trillion over 10 years and that Democrats said would
provide relief to Americans struggling to buy or hold on to health
insurance... Unable to reach an agreement on compromise language
on abortion coverage, House leaders decided to allow a vote on tight
restrictions that would prohibit federal money from being used to
pay for abortions, either through a new federal health insurance
plan or under private plans that enroll people relying on federal
subsidies.
