FDA fines American Red Cross $5.7 million for blood violations
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The federal government has fined the American Red Cross $5.7 million for violating blood-safety laws and the terms of a 2003 consent decree.
The fine covers quality assurance, inventory management, control of non-conforming blood products, donor screening and blood component manufacturing issues turned up during a 2005 inspection of a Red Cross facility in West Henrietta, N.Y., the Food and Drug Administration said in a Nov. 21 letter. The letter, to Red Cross interim president and CEO Jack McGuire, was posted Monday on the FDA Web site. The fine appears to be the largest single penalty ever assessed under terms of a 2003 court settlement that allows the large fines when the Red Cross violates FDA rules. Previously, the FDA had fined the Red Cross a total of nearly $10 million NATO leaders gathering in Latvia as Afghan war strains show
TALINN, Estonia (CNN) -- President Bush landed in eastern Europe late Monday on his way to a NATO summit likely to be dominated by the alliance's mission in Afghanistan and a debate over its future role.
Bush landed in the Estonian capital Talinn late Monday, becoming the first American leader to visit that former Soviet republic. The summit comes as troops from NATO's International Security Assistance Force are battling the resurgent Taliban movement and its allies in the al Qaeda terrorist network in rugged Afghanistan. The fighting has claimed the lives of more than 70 allied troops, mostly British and Canadian, in the past six months, along with 65 Americans. NATO commanders have been pleading with the leaders of the alliance for more troops and equipment and for the leaders of individual countries to stop restricting their troops to comparatively safe areas. Bush and the 25 other leaders of the Atlantic alliance will meet Tuesday and Wednesday in Riga, the capital of neighboring Latvia -- one of three former Soviet republics that joined the alliance in 2004. British Prime Minister Tony Blair promised troops in Afghanistan last week that they would get whatever they wanted from the alliance's leaders. Durbin urges Obama to run for president
STANFORD, Calif. (CNN) -- Comparing Sen. Barack Obama's political skills to that of former President Bill Clinton, Sen. Richard Durbin called on his political supporters Monday to urge his fellow Illinoisan to run for the Democratic presidential nomination.
"In all my years in politics, I have only met one other person who connects with people as well as Barack does: former President Bill Clinton," Durbin, an influential player in Democratic politics, wrote in an email urging them to sign an on-line petition. "That says a lot about Barack's superior skills as a politician and a leader. I have complete confidence that Barack will be able to unite Americans across our country in support of a new agenda of hope." A recent CNN poll shows that Obama enjoys strong support from Democrats for a possible presidential bid, but still trails President Clinton's wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York, by 18 percentage points. Durbin, who is set to become the Senate Majority Whip in January, has created an on-line petition titled "Run, Barack, Run!" on his webpage for people to sign. "Barack has said publicly that he is considering a run, and part of his consideration will doubtlessly include measuring the level of his support from Democrats across the country," Durbin wrote. "So let's show him how strong that support is." In a statement to CNN, Obama's communications director Robert Gibbs noted the Illinois senator is considering a run. "Senator Obama hasn't yet decided whether he will run for president, but he greatly appreciates Senator Durbin's support and counsel," Gibbs said. -- CNN Political Editor Mark Preston
Daschle to discuss homeland security
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle will discuss the state of homeland security Wednesday in a forum sponsored by the Center for American Progress and the Georgetown University Public Policy Institute.
Former Rep. Lee Hamilton, who was the Vice Chairman of the 9/11 Commission, will also take part in the forum. Hamilton is also the co-chairman of the Iraq Study Group, which is reviewing policy options for the war in Iraq. Daschle, who has expressed interest in running for the Democratic presidential nomination, has remained a presence in Washington, DC since his 2004 defeat to Sen. John Thune, R-South Dakota. The former majority leader is currently an advisor to lobbying firm Alston & Bird and a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

Gates expected to take Pentagon job by end of December, if confirmed
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Robert Gates, the former CIA director who is President Bush's choice to replace Donald H. Rumsfeld as defense secretary, is likely to assume the Pentagon post before year's end if he is confirmed by the Senate as expected, officials said Monday.
Eric Ruff, the Pentagon press secretary, said Gates will have his confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee early next week, with a vote expected by the full Senate by Dec. 12 or 13. In preparation for the hearing, Gates is receiving a series of briefings by senior Pentagon officials, Ruff said. Pelosi: Ethics reform first order of business
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- On the campaign trail this fall, House Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi, D-California, said "maybe it takes a woman to clean house."
Now, Pelosi has vowed to places ethics reform on the top of the Democratic agenda when the party takes control of the chamber in January. "The People's House should not be an auction house, with legislation being sold to the highest bidder," Pelosi said Monday in a statement. "For that reason, the first order of business will be ethics reform." Pelosi announced last week the 110th congress will commence on January 4th , 2007 -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

Edwards heads to New Hampshire Monday
Who: Former Sen. John Edwards, D-North Carolina What: Book signing in Manchester for, 'HOME: The Blueprints of Our Lives.' Time.com: The scariest guy in town
WASHINGTON -- In the altered landscape that is Washington, there's a new contender for the title of Scariest Guy in Town. He stands 5 ft. 5, speaks softly and has all the panache of your parents' dentist.
But when it comes to putting powerful people on the hot seat, there's no one tougher and more tenacious than veteran California Congressman Henry Waxman. In the Democrats' wilderness years, Waxman fashioned himself as his party's chief inquisitor. Working with one of the most highly regarded staffs on Capitol Hill, he has spent the past eight years churning out some 2,000 headline-grabbing reports, blasting the Bush Administration and the Republican Congress on everything from faulty prewar intelligence and flaws in missile defense to the flu-vaccine shortage and arsenic in drinking water. Come January, however, the man that the liberal Nation magazine once called the "Eliot Ness of the Democrats" can do even more, thanks to the two words that strike fear in the heart of every government official: subpoena power. As the new chairman of the House Government Reform Committee, Waxman will have free rein to investigate, as he puts it, "everything that the government is involved with." Full storyDingell pledges oversight investigations
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The incoming chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee is promising an array of oversight investigations that could provoke sharp disagreement with Republicans and the White House.
Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., pledged that Democrats, swept to power in the Nov. 7 elections, would govern "in the middle" next year. But the veteran lawmaker has a reputation as one who has never avoided a fight and he did not back away from that reputation on Sunday. Among the investigations he said he wants the committee to undertake: --The new Medicare drug benefit. "There are lots and lots and lots of scandals," he said, without citing specifics. --Spending on government contractors in Iraq, including Halliburton Co., the Texas-based oil services conglomerate once led by Vice President Dick Cheney. --An energy task force overseen by Cheney. It "was carefully cooked to provide only participation by oil companies and energy companies," Dingell said. Justice Department watchdog to review domestic spying program
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Justice Department's internal watchdog said Monday it has opened an investigation into the agency's use of information gathered in the government's warrantless surveillance program.
In a letter to House Judiciary Committee leaders and obtained by The Associated Press, Inspector General Glenn A. Fine said his investigators would focus on the Justice Department's role in carrying out the spying program run by the National Security Agency. Fine wrote that he wants to ensure that prosecutors are following laws governing the handling of information NSA gathers when spying on suspected terrorists in the United States.

Biden heads to South Carolina Monday
Who: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Delaware What: Speaks at the Columbia Rotary Club weekly meeting in Columbia, South Carolina Date set for GOP Iowa straw poll
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- GOP presidential hopefuls have less than nine months to barnstorm across Iowa before its voters publicly weigh in for the first time, the Republican Party of Iowa announced Monday.
The GOP Iowa straw poll -- a long-established event in the GOP presidential campaign calendar -- will be held on August 11th, 2007, the state party said. "With just about nine months until the straw poll, Iowans are looking forward to getting to know the presidential candidates," GOP state party chairman Ray Hoffman said in a statement. Though the straw poll has no official impact on the primary election results, candidates recognize the outcome often mirrors that in the crucial Iowa Caucuses five months later. In 1999, then Texas Gov. George W. Bush won the straw poll on his way to capturing the GOP nomination for president. -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
Poll: Giuliani, McCain, Obama rank high with voters, Kerry in last place
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- Americans have the warmest feelings about former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Republican Sen. John McCain and Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, according to a poll released Monday that scores the popularity of national leaders.
The Quinnipiac University's "thermometer reading," taken the week after the Nov. 7 election, asked voters to rate their feelings for 20 leaders on a scale of 0 to 100. Giuliani, a Republican weighing a presidential bid in 2008, scored the highest at 64.2. Obama and McCain, who are also considering a 2008 campaign, finished next at 58.8 and 57.7. President Bush was 15th out of 20 while his secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, was fourth and former President Clinton fifth. New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton scored ninth of the 20 leaders with a score of 49. Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic nominee who was roundly criticized before the election for suggesting that students who don't study could end up stuck in Iraq, came in last at 39.6. Kerry later apologized for what he said was a botched joke. Republican re-elected to House but recount required
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce won re-election Monday to the U.S. House by a margin so slim that a recount will be required.
Pryce led Democratic challenger Mary Jo Kilroy by 1,055 votes in unofficial results after counties in central Ohio's 15th District counted absentee and provisional ballots weeks after Election Day. Pryce actually lost Franklin County, the district's most populous that announced its totals Monday. But votes she picked up in two other counties that announced results last week, Madison and Union, helped her keep her lead. Kilroy, a Franklin County commissioner, had thought the outstanding ballots in Franklin, including many from Ohio State University students in Columbus, could sway the election in her favor. The race was one of a few that had remained unresolved across the country since Election Day, when the Democrats took control of Congress. Hagel: U.S. should pull out of 'mismanaged' Iraq
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A leading Republican senator called Sunday for American troops to begin withdrawing from Iraq, declaring that a U.S. pullout is needed to head off "impending disaster" in the nearly 4-year-old war.
"There will be no victory or defeat for the United States in Iraq," Sen. Chuck Hagel wrote in Sunday's edition of The Washington Post. Instead, he said, President Bush should use the upcoming report from a bipartisan panel led by former Secretary of State James Baker to begin laying the groundwork for a "phased withdrawal" of U.S. troops.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- First lady Laura Bush is set to kick off the Washington holiday season Monday when she receives the official White House Christmas tree. The annual holiday ceremony takes place in the White House North Portico at 10:30 a.m. ET.
U.S. involved longer in Iraq war than World War II
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The war in Iraq has now lasted longer than the U.S. involvement in the war that President Bush's father fought in, World War II.
As of Sunday, the conflict in Iraq has raged for three years and just over eight months. Only the Vietnam War (eight years, five months), the Revolutionary War (six years, nine months), and the Civil War (four years), have engaged America longer. Fighting in Afghanistan, which may or may not be a full-fledged war depending on who is keeping track, has gone on for five years, one month. It continues as the ousted Taliban resurges and the central government is challenged. Special Report: Iraq Rumsfeld OK'd prison abuses, ex-general alleges
MADRID, Spain (Reuters) - Outgoing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld authorized the mistreatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, the prison's former U.S. commander said in an interview on Saturday.
Former U.S. Army Brigadier General Janis Karpinski told Spain's El Pais newspaper she had seen a letter apparently signed by Rumsfeld which allowed civilian contractors to use techniques such as sleep deprivation during interrogation. Karpinski, who ran the prison until early 2004, said she saw a memorandum signed by Rumsfeld detailing the use of harsh interrogation methods. "The handwritten signature was above his printed name and in the same handwriting in the margin was written: 'Make sure this is accomplished'," she said. Karpinski was withdrawn from Iraq in early 2004, shortly after photographs showing American troops abusing detainees at the prison were flashed around the world. She was subsequently removed from active duty and then demoted to the rank of colonel on unrelated charges. Hawaii cop dies of injuries sustained in Bush motorcade crash
HONOLULU, Hawaii (CNN) -- A Honolulu police officer hurt in a collision with a vehicle in President Bush's motorcade last week has died of his injuries, the Honolulu Police Department announced Sunday.
Officer Steve Favela suffered severe internal injuries in the crash, and Hawaiian authorities had requested blood donations to help save him. In a statement from the White House, Bush -- who met with U.S. troops Tuesday in Honolulu on the last leg of his recent Asia trip -- said he and first lady Laura Bush were "deeply saddened" by Favela's death.

While the diplomatic strategy appears likely to be accepted, with some amendments, by the 10-member Iraq Study Group, members of the commission and outsiders involved in its work said they expected a potentially divisive debate about timetables for beginning an American withdrawal. New York Times: Panel to Weigh Overture by U.S. to Iran and Syria HAGEL SAYS WITHDRAWAL NEEDED TO PREVENT "IMPENDING DISASTER" IN IRAQ: A leading Republican senator called Sunday for American troops to begin withdrawing from Iraq, declaring that a U.S. pullout is needed to head off "impending disaster" in the nearly 4-year-old war. "There will be no victory or defeat for the United States in Iraq," Sen. Chuck Hagel wrote in Sunday's edition of The Washington Post. Instead, he said, President Bush should use the upcoming report from a bipartisan panel led by former Secretary of State James Baker to begin laying the groundwork for a "phased withdrawal" of U.S. troops. "If the president fails to build a bipartisan foundation for an exit strategy, America will pay a high price for this blunder -- one that we will have difficulty recovering from in the years ahead," Hagel wrote. CNN: Hagel: U.S. should pullout of 'mismanaged' Iraq TALABANI TO MEET WITH AHMADINEJAD: Iraqi President Jalal Talabani was due to fly to Tehran to meet his Iranian counterpart on Monday as the government reopened Baghdad airport and lifted a curfew imposed after a string of deadly attacks last week. Pressure is growing on Iraq's government and the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush to look beyond the country's borders to bring an end to the ongoing violence. Talabani's meeting with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, intended in part to discuss Iran's role in creating a more stable Iraq, had been planned for Saturday but was delayed because of the intense violence. Without being specific, Talabani's office had said the president would be cleared to leave for Tehran when the curfew ended. CNN: Iraq president to fly to Iran AFGHANISTAN "LIKELY TO DOMINATE" NATO DISCUSSIONS: President Bush's agenda at a NATO summit this week will include pressing alliance members to increase defense spending. Aides say many U.S. allies are ill-equipped for modern military operations. The defense outlays of some NATO partners are less than half those of the United States as a percentage of gross domestic product. Bush is set to leave Monday to visit Estonia, a NATO member, ahead of the two-day NATO summit in Riga, Latvia. He then heads to Amman, Jordan, for talks Wednesday and Thursday with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Discussion of Afghanistan, where NATO has 32,000 troops battling the Taliban and working on reconstruction, is likely to dominate the alliance's summit. But the Bush administration hopes to use lessons from NATO's first major combat mission to make the case for broader spending. AP via Yahoo! News: Bush to press allies on defense spending OP-EDS OFFER GLIMPSE OF "CAUTIOUS" SECDEF NOMINEE: Defense Secretary-designate Robert M. Gates in the past decade opposed big changes at the CIA in the face of terror attacks and expressed doubt that Washington could assemble an alliance of nations against al Qaeda. His writings, mostly in the op-ed pages of the New York Times, also revealed a former CIA director who was protective of the agency and opposed to intelligence inroads by the Pentagon at the behest of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. He opposed creating a budget line for the White House Office of Homeland Defense after al Qaeda's September 11 attacks on the United States. The writings show Mr. Gates to be more cautious and pragmatic than his predecessor, Mr. Rumsfeld, who has transformed the military and aggressively hunted al Qaeda members. Washington Times: Writings reveal cautious Gates 109TH MAY ADJOURN EARLY, "PUNT" SPENDING BILLS TO 110TH: A squabble among Republicans over spending bills makes it increasingly likely that the House will finish its business by the end of next week, with the Senate shutting down operations soon after. Given that GOP conservatives have prevented their colleagues on the House and Senate Appropriations panels from moving forward with plans to pass the nine remaining spending bills as an omnibus package, Republicans leaders are now expected to punt the issue to next year's Democratic-led Congress rather than take the time to piece together major spending legislation. "It could mean we would adjourn much earlier than most pundits think — certainly well before the Christmas deadline," said one senior Senate GOP aide. Indeed, passing a continuing resolution to keep the government running until February or March would allow Congress to avoid the time-consuming negotiations and last-minute spending fights that inevitably accompany omnibus appropriations bills. That could make it more likely that the House would be able to close up shop by Dec. 8, with the Senate likely to stay in town for a few more days to consider the nomination of Robert Gates to be Defense secretary, several aides said. Roll Call: GOP Tiff Makes CR 'Inevitable' DEMS WON'T HURRY TO TACKLE WIRETAPS, IMMIGRATION, IRAQ: Democratic lawmakers vow to come roaring out of the blocks when they assume control of the next Congress, passing several top-priority bills in the first 100 hours. Absent from that list, however, are the knottiest problems that bedeviled the outgoing Congress, including immigration, domestic surveillance and the war in Iraq. Voters handed Democrats a mandate for change on Nov. 7, politicians and analysts agree. But party leaders are drawing a sharp distinction between popular, comparatively simple issues, such as raising the minimum wage, and more complex matters for which they have yet to propose solutions or even outline a plan for hearings. Washington Post: New Congress Unlikely to Rush Toughest Issues PHILLY LAWYER DETAILS 30-YR RELATIONSHIP WITH WELDON: When Center City lawyer and Russian trade expert John J. Gallagher lost a $2.5 million investment in a cognac distillery in a former Soviet republic, a family friend stepped up to help - in a big way. The friend, U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon, first called the president of Moldova. When that didn't work, Weldon went to the House and proposed cutting all U.S. aid to Moldova until Gallagher got his money back. That deal, now part of an FBI corruption investigation, wasn't the only time that Weldon used his office to help Gallagher, a lawyer who specializes in putting together business deals - from Philadelphia City Hall to the U.S. Capitol to the Kremlin... In the first interview given by one of the subjects of the FBI probe, Gallagher said his relationship with Weldon went back 30 years. Philadelphia Inquirer: Subject of FBI probe tells of Weldon ties NOMINATION STALLED OVER ATTENDANCE OF "LESBIAN COMMITMENT CEREMONY": A conservative Republican lawmaker is considering whether to stop blocking a judicial nominee over concerns her appearance at a lesbian commitment ceremony betrayed her legal views on gay marriage. Sen. Sam Brownback, a potential presidential candidate in 2008, said Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Janet T. Neff should not be disqualified automatically for having attended the ceremony. But Brownback, R-Kan., made clear it raised doubts in his mind. "But what I want to know is what does it do to her look at the law? What does she consider the law on same-sex marriage, on civil unions, and I'd want to consider that," Brownback said Sunday. President Bush nominated Neff, who has a liberal reputation, to be a U.S. District Court judge as part of a compromise struck with Democrats. Neff's nomination is pending before the full Senate; Brownback has stalled it because of her attendance at the 2002 ceremony in Massachusetts. "I'm still looking at the Neff situation, and I will in the future," Brownback said. AP via Yahoo! News: Lawmaker leaves judge nominee in limbo BROWNBACK SAYS '08 ANNOUNCEMENT COMING SOON: Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas strongly hinted yesterday that he would run for president in 2008, saying the Republican field was open for a "full-scale conservative" and that he would make an official announcement soon. During an appearance on ABC's "This Week," the Republican outlined what he called a "compassionate conservative" agenda, including a willingness to open diplomatic ties with Iran and Syria. "I think there is room, on the Republican side, for somebody that's a full-scale conservative, that's an economic and fiscal and social conservative," Mr. Brownback said. "I think there's room on our side, and need on our side, to develop some new plays, particularly on the compassionate conservative agenda. So we'll be making some announcements, soon, about that." Washington Times: Brownback hints at '08 presidential bid DEATH OF THE "YANKEE REPUBLICAN": It was a species as endemic to New England as craggy seascapes and creamy clam chowder: the moderate Yankee Republican. Dignified in demeanor, independent in ideology and frequently blue in blood, they were politicians in the mold of Roosevelt and Rockefeller: socially tolerant, environmentally enthusiastic, people who liked government to keep its wallet close to its vest and its hands out of social issues like abortion and, in recent years, same-sex marriage. But this election dealt the already-fading New England Republican an especially strong blow, one that some fear will increase the divide between the two parties nationally by removing a longstanding bridge between them. New York Times: A G.O.P. Breed Loses Its Place in New England ON ELECTION NIGHT, BETTER TO WATCH THE WEB, SAYS PEJ: Election night 2006 will go into history books as a triumph for Democrats and rebuke to President Bush. It was a watershed evening for the news media, too. The first smoothly run election night of the Internet era left many news organizations unsure of where they stood and should prompt some rethinking in time for 2008, according to a detailed new report by the Project for Excellence in Journalism. The journalism think tank monitored several forms of media that night and concluded the best place to follow the story was on Web sites run by television networks - as opposed to the networks themselves. Because of the richly detailed Web sites, fed by both results and exit poll data gathered by the networks and The Associated Press, Internet browsers frequently were more up-to-date than the anchors and pundits on the air, said Tom Rosenstiel, the project's director. AP via Yahoo! News: News media have watershed election, too RANGEL GETS A BOOST FROM VIRGIN ISLANDERS: Powerhouse Harlem Rep. Charles Rangel has raised $50,000 in campaign contributions from residents of the sunny Virgin Islands. Rangel raised more from the islands (population: 109,000) than he got from any state except New York, according to PoliticalMoneyLine. Now that he's about to take over the Ways and Means Committee, Rangel, a longtime advocate for the islands' special tax breaks, is in a position to deliver even more. The breaks give income-tax credits to island residents who invest in local businesses. In 2004, Congress tightened the tax break to require people who claim it to live there at least half the year.
