Coverup that the white house has been hiding evidence and coaching major players, including former u. N. Ambassador, now National Security adviser susan rice, coaching them really to mislead the american people, even lie about what happened. House Speaker John Boehner has offered democrats five spots on this committee. The republicans will have seven spots, something he says is fair, given what former House Speaker nancy pelosi did when she was in charge. This is a Serious Investigation that we wanted to Work Together to get to the truth. I think the 75 split is eminently fair, frankly, fairer than her Global Warming committee that she set up. Instead of debating the minimum wage, were getting maximum partisanship. Instead of creating a select committee on job creation, were voting to create a select committee on benghazi, shamefully playing politics with a terrible tragedy. Now, there had been talk that the democrats would simply boycott this select committee. Now, however, several pr

Then malaysian authorities failed to initiate any kind of search for four hours. Overnight, government officials in malaysia held a News Conference, their first since releasing those findings. Will ripley live from kuala lumpur this morning. What are malaysian authorities saying, will, about that report . Reporter christine, theyre not sayi
Minutes of hell. We didnt know if he was still dieing or if they were still pumping drugs in him. A horrifying situation. They wanted to hurry up and get it done with as little transparency as possible. Shades of katrina. They have gone up there with chainsaws to try to be able to cut holes in the roofs and get people out of there. People trapped in their attacks, almost a foot of rain in 24 hours. The moment of death is just an inch away. Youre live in the cnn newsroom. Good morning. Im Carol Costello. Thank you for joining me. The nba handed down a sports Death Penalty to clippers owner Donald Sterling. The big question is how sterling respond . Will other nba owners vote to force sterling to sell the team .

Other night. But i had a sense that it was hard for the players. They add to wear that. I think that was hard for them. I do. Doc, you said you were in film, you told them the decision and said what you needed to say. What did you say . That would be private, that part. A lot of it was to let them know this is some closure. There is still work to do. You know, i just thought they set a good example around the league on how they conducted themselves. Doc, you said you expected a good crowd tonight. Maybe im hoping. Too. I think the mayor has been great, by the way. What he said today kevin johnson, i like him again. Its amazing. Hes been great. He was great what he said today. I didnt know he could speak so eloquently. My goodness. Just that this is not the lakers or l. A. , just to support the team. I go back to the 14 guys we dress or that are, you know, players. They did nothing wrong. They need support. I think that will happen. Doc, would you like to see the clippers name changed .
Society. It is not supposed to be torture or cruel or unusual punishment. That appears to be exactly what happened. He was struggling to talk, those were the words we got out. Man, im not, and something is wrong. They may be the last words spoken by oklahoma inmate clayton lockett, uttered during his botched execution. What happened is his vein gave out during the least infection, prompting authorities to quickly halt the procedure. Drugs werent getting to blood but rather soft tissues. It was my decision to stop the execution. The first drug in that legal injection cocktail is supposed to render a person senseless and sedate. Witnesses say lockett was still conscious seven minutes after the first injection. At 16 minutes, he seemingly tried to get up and talk. It was then the prison officials closed the blinds, shutting out the media gathered to witness. We didnt know what was happening on the other side of the blind. We didnt know if he was still dying or they were still pumping drug
