Thats been confirmed by those on the ground. A lot to tell you about, heres what the day looked like. [ sirens ] day six of rockets crisscrossing the border. A spector of Israeli Ground invasion is still very real. This strike occurred monday when we were live at 2 00 a. M. Also, two media centers. That was a rather large explosion. That occurred, just look out here, i cant actually see where the impact of that was. Its actually set off a number of car alarms but that was probably the largest explosion that weve heard just in the past really in the past hour. By daylight, the results of that strike were clear. And this is the results of the explosion that we witnessed last night. Its the Police Station or a Police Station in gaza city. Local people say it was still being built so there werent a lot of Police Officers or anybody inside. Two people were injured, they say, its not clear who those people were. But the building is pretty well destroyed. It will take quite awhile to rebuild.
Reporter where the victims of this bus attack are. We know that now 22 people have been injured. Some of those were inside the bus, some of the people were outside of the bus. There are two very serious injuries, both of them teenagers according to hospital officials here and they are doing surgery as we speak. What we dough do know is that so far doctors are saying that all the victims are expected to survive and the blast basically blew out all the windows in the bus about you dbut did not comp destroy the bus. Certainly a terrible, terrible scare to the people here. And a lot of fear this is the beginning of something worse to come. You just talked about, in fact, hamas has praised this particular blast but has not taken responsibility. Police basically are saying they have not been able to get a suspect yet. They are sending out all of their equipment and people to try to find out who is responsible for this. And, as we said, they do not for sure think this was somebody who blew th
From perfectly legal prescriptions. Many who die are not addicts. They are healthy, just like you probably or me. But for me, a story that really drove it home involved a young man named benjamin. On december 19th, 2011, benjamin gupta, a Law University student died. He is no relationship to me, but when his family got word they spent hours trading phone calls. They were in stunned disbelief. I received a call from my m mom, i didnt answer, i got a text message from her which was very unusual. And i said what happened. She said it is ben. He died. I just i didnt have any information. I finally said how did this happen . And she said he went to sleep the night before, and he just never woke up. He was always smiling, you know, in every picture. For days, ben guptas family was desperate for answers, what killed him . He was only 28 years old and had recently been given a clean bill of health. How could he just not wake up . And then the thought went through my mind that maybe it was a so

And why the next Foreign Policy crisis for the worlds number one power might well involve the worlds number two power. But first heres my take. Now that president obama has won reelection, the debate in washington has shifted from whether we should raise taxes to how and by how much. This makes sense. With a deficit over a trillion dollars, we will need a combination of increased tax revenues and spending cuts. The president and his allies including robert rubin have made the case that eliminating deductions simply will not get you enough money. You will actually have to raise tax rates. Thats probably true as well. But lets not give up entirely on the issue of deductions and all those other hidden subsidies that the simpsonbowles report accurately called backdoor spending hidden in the tax code. In order to sound like theyre not spending money, congress often tends to grant special exemptions to pace taxes. In hids excellent book red ink David Russell points out if you get a 1,000 exe
