Gale force winds. The latest update on what to expect in minutes. Good morning from washington. Its friday, february 8, 2013, and this is the daily rundown. From the moment cia nominee john brennan entered his confirmation hearing on thursday, it was clear that the first major public discussion of the Obama Administrations Drone Program would be on the combative end, offering a rare public display of democratic dismay with their president a president s policies.
