Episode #5247H Duration: 26:46 STEREO TVRE
In a major address on Thursday, the president unveiled new guidelines for combating terrorism and the administration's use of drones in that fight. This came on the heels of the new disclosure that 4 Americans had been killed in drone strikes since 2009. He also renewed his call to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. Doyle McManus of the Los Angeles Times tells us what the president's new strategy means.
* Meanwhile, controversies continued to swirl throughout Washington this week, particularly around the IRS and its extra scrutiny of conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status. Are the questions about "who-knew-what-when" eroding Americans' trust in government? Dan Balz of the Washington Post has perspective and analysis of the impact on President Obama's standing.
* The devastating tornado in Oklahoma again put the issue of federal disaster relief front and center this week. Charles Babington of the Associated Press looks at how - in the wake of recent natural disasters - the issue of paying for disaster relief has become a political hot potato.
* The Senate Judiciary Committee has passed and sent to the full Senate a comprehensive immigration reform bill that's sure to stir up controversy on Capitol Hill. Fawn Johnson of National Journal has the latest on the reform push and the next steps for both the Senate and the House.
