Friday, January 13, 2012 – Daily News WORLD BRIEFING US assures Afghans of full probe of Marines video WASHINGTON (AP) — Pentagon leaders scrambled Thursday to contain damage from an Internet video pur- porting to show four Marines urinating on Taliban corpses — an act that appears to vio- late international laws of war- fare and further strains U.S.- Afghan relations. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta called Afghan Presi- dent Hamid Karzai to offer assurances of a full investiga- tion and the top Marine gener- al promised an internal probe as well as a criminal one. Investigators moved quickly to identify and interview at least two of the four Marines. They were members of a bat- talion that fought for seven months in former Taliban strongholds in southern Afghanistan. Their unit, the 3rd Battal- ion, 2nd Marines, returned from Helmand province to its home base at Camp Lejeune, N.C., last September. Marine officials said that a battalion officer confirmed to investiga- tors on Thursday, based on his examination of the video, that the four men depicted urinat- ing had been members of the battalion. Two have since moved on to other units. As the video spread across the Internet in postings and re- postings, U.S. officials joined with Afghans in calling it shocking, deplorable, inhu- mane and a breach of military standards of conduct. It shows men in Marine combat gear standing in a semicircle uri- nating on the bodies of three men in standard Afghan cloth- ing, one whose chest was cov- ered in blood. It's not certain whether the dead were Taliban fighters, civilians or someone else. Conservatives rally around Romney after hits on Bain GREER, S.C. (AP) — An array of Republicans and conserv- atives — including some of Mitt Romney's sharpest critics — rushed to the GOP presidential front-runner's defense Thursday to counter efforts to paint the former venture capitalist as a job-killer. Under fire, Romney rivals Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry backed off from directly attacking Rom- ney's tenure at the helm of Bain Capital. "We're disappointed" with the line of criticism, said Thomas Donohue, the head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The busi- ness group doesn't endorse in presidential campaigns, but Dono- hue said: "We think Romney has had a pretty good track record. Perfect? Hell no, but damn good." Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who ran against Rom- ney four years ago, wrote in an online letter: "It's surprising to see so many Republicans embrace that left-wing argument against capitalism." And another 2008 foe, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, told Fox News Channel: "I'm shocked at what they are doing. I'm going to say it's ignorant. Dumb. It's building something we should be fighting — ignorance of the American economic system." Romney's new defenders — many of whom have long histories of disagreeing with the former Massachusetts governor — argued that the attacks on his busi- ness record undermined the GOP's identity and weakened the party's chief argument against Democrat- ic President Barack Obama, that federal intrusion has stymied the economy's recovery. And while the latest comments were more a rejection of attacks on Romney's record at Bain than an endorsement of Romney as a candidate, they signaled a warm- ing toward Romney by a cross- missing the charges as baseless and insisting all its nuclear activi- ties were peaceful and under IAEA purview. Obama's pose of distance from politics at odds with reality WASHINGTON (AP) — To hear the White House tell it, President Barack Obama has scant interest in politics as Republicans battle each other for the right to challenge him. But in reality, Obama is increasingly involved in his re- election, staying in regular contact with his campaign staff, raising money and evalu- ating Republican debate per- formances. Throughout the White House, Obama's aides are knee-deep in the re-election business. There are daily con- ference calls between top aides in the White House and cam- paign staff at the Chicago re- election headquarters and close consultation on message and travel. His pose of indifference section of the GOP as his party struggles to settle on a more con- servative alternative. They also signaled that attempts by Gin- grich, a former House speaker, and Perry, the Texas governor, to cast Romney as a cold-blooded predator in the business world appeared to be backfiring badly — and playing right into the Romney campaign's hands. Diplomats say Iran ready to discuss nukes VIENNA (AP) — A senior U.N. nuclear agency team will visit Tehran on Jan. 28 with Iran saying it is ready after years of Amish men jailed for not using reflective triangles MAYFIELD, Ky. (AP) — A group of Amish men were sent to jail in western Ken- tucky Thursday for refusing to pay fines for breaking a state highway law that requires their horse-drawn buggies to be marked with orange reflective triangles. The men have a religious objection to the bright orange signs, which they say are flashy and conflict with their pledge to live low-key and religious lives. Ananias Byler, the first of 10 Amish men who appeared in Graves County District Court on Thursday, was sentenced to 10 days in jail. The men were jailed for being found in contempt of court for refusing to pay fines. Byler told Judge Deborah Crooks Thursday that he would not pay the $489 he owes. "I totally understand your objection," the judge told Byler. "But you're in violation, and it's not up to me to change the law. It doesn't really matter what I think about any of this." The men belong to a conservative break- away group of Amish known as Swartzentru- ber. They live simply, with no electricity, plumbing or appliances. But in recent years they have been running afoul of the law here for refusing to use the triangles on their buggies, and some were sent to jail last year. Save on your classified with these coupons!

ASAP# 4164213 01/06/2012, 01/13/2012, 01/20/2012 refusal to discuss allegations that it was involved in secret nuclear weapons work, diplomats said Thursday. Diplomats have previously said that International Atomic Energy Agency officials were discussing such a trip with their Iranian coun- terparts. But before the diplomats' comments Thursday, no date — or indication that Iran was ready to talk about the allegations — had been mentioned. Any follow-through on the part of Iran on its reported pledge to discuss nuclear arms suspicions would be significant. For more than three years, Tehran has blocked IAEA attempts to follow up on U.S. and other intelligence alleging covert Iranian work on nuclear arms, dis- allows Obama to try to position himself above the sometimes- ugly fray of the campaign, leaving the political back-and- forth to others as he focuses instead on the loftier work of governing. But as with any incumbent president seeking re-election, political concerns weigh heavily as the election approaches. It's just smarter politics, for now, to pretend otherwise. "Presidents like to act like they're not paying attention to every little detail of every little thing, when I suspect they all do," said Ari Fleischer, press secretary under President George W. Bush. "The job requires you to act like you're above all the less important stuff of the world — especially if the less important stuff is the guy who wants to take your job."
