Editor's Note

I am in court today. Fear not .... I am not the one who has the legal dispute. I am a witness for a friend in a contract dispute. I am hopeful that this will be wrapped up by mid-day. Today's news briefs (Military And Intelligence News Briefs, World News Briefs, Iraq, Ukraine, Gaza, etc. .... this will all be updated when I return this afternoon).

Update 13:00 EST: Court rooms .... yecchhhh. It did not go well for my friend. I should be posting soon.
