North Korea working to attack the U.S.
North Korea appears headed toward the capability to strike the U.S. with a nuclear-armed missile. The Associated Press reports, "In a report to Congress Thursday, the Pentagon made no estimate of when North Korea might achieve that capability.

The report says the North's work on a space-launch vehicle has contributed heavily to its effort to build a missile capable of delivering a warhead to U.S. targets. That work was highlighted by the launch of a satellite into space last December."

Move to close Gitmo encounters critics
Despite vowing to close the Guantanamo Bay prison, President Barack Obama's quest to close it is still running into problems in Congress. So the White House may have to transfer some terror suspects back overseas. Sen.
