Justice sends more ‘Fast and Furious’ documents to Congress
Posted on | January 27, 2012 | No Comments
Washington — The Justice Department on Friday night provided Congress with a new batch of Operation Fast and Furious documents from early 2011
In the letter to key congressional leaders Friday, the Justice Department said ATF policy now says it may be necessary to interdict illegal weapons early to ensure the safety of the public
Justice also sent a letter to Capitol Hill leaders providing details of a series of reforms made by the Justice Department and ATF to ensure there is no repeat of the controversial operation which allowed hundreds of illegal weapons to be sold in the United States and trafficked into Mexico
Breuer “suggested allowing straw purchasers cross into Mexico so (Mexican federal police) can arrest and (the Mexican attorney general’s office] can prosecute and convict
The e-mail author, a Justice official stationed at the embassy, said he thought that was risky because Mexico might not seize the weapons and a crime could be committed
The controversy is the subject of a hearing set for next Thursday. Attorney General Eric Holder is scheduled to testify before the House Investigations Committee chaired by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-California)

Editor's Note: Every week, the Global Public Square brings you some must-read editorials from around the world addressed to America and Americans. The series is called Listen up, America!
"So when [foreign policy is] discussed at all on the campaign trail, the candidates default to crowd-pleasing posturing, always casting themselves as tougher and more principled than the incumbent – which, of course, they are, until they find themselves shackled to the realities of power
United Arab Emirates – “Attacking a Democratic president as weak on national security is de rigueur for Republicans, just as trash-talking China and promising to love Israel more and better than the incumbent has become a campaign standard for candidates of both parties,” writes Tony Karon in the Abu Dhabi-based National
“While Mitt Romney is, of course, not perfect, and has sought to accommodate his policies to the Tea Party and other radicals in his party, he stands out as a plausible candidate
Turkey – “Mr. Besides Obama, Akyol says, Gingrich “seems to have two main enemies: 'socialism' (which would be called the welfare state in this part of the world) and secularism. Gingrich is the ultimate tough politician,” writes Mustafa Akyol in the Istanbul-based Hurriyet Daily News
Canada – “If anyone can talk his way into the White House it should be Newt Gingrich,” says an editorial in the Toronto-based Globe and Mail. Yet, Romney remains the one to beat:
Germany – “Those who follow this race daily may have long since lost perspective on how absurd it is,” writes Marc Pitzke in the Hamburg-based Der Spiegel. Commenting on CNN's debate in Florida earlier this week, Pitzke writes,
Many waste huge sums of money in the process.”As the candidates noisily criss-cross the nation, debating and pouring scorn on one another, voters get the opportunity to judge them close up, warts and all. Few come through the ordeal unscathed

John Zarrella is CNN’s principal correspondent for coverage of the review. Zarrella was the CNN network correspondent on site when the 1986 Challenger shuttle disaster occurred. In 2011, Zarrella covered the final flights of the Space Shuttle program. space program, covering such events such as John Glenn’s 1998 return to space, the Mars Pathfinder mission and numerous space shuttle launches
– Newt Gingrich got a lot of mileage out of his comments on building a moon colony by 2020. Whether you think that should get him a one-way ticket to the moon on the first flight or you believe his vision is an inspiration, he did accomplish one big thing
Gingrich got the conversation started. What kind of space program do we want? What kind can we afford? Had Gingrich not said what he said, the space program might have been totally ignored, as it has been so often in the past

Biden hits Romney, Gingrich in speech
Posted on | January 27, 2012 | No Comments
– In a rare moment, Vice President Joe Biden on Friday unleashed criticism of the Republican presidential frontrunners, blasting Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich by name for their campaign rhetoric
“I think it is not just political theater but a tactic I really think they believe in,” Biden said. “I think they are committed to it
Analysis: When disclosure is so simple it’s complicated
He made references to controversial positions taken by each candidate, including Romney’s opposition to the auto bailouts in which the former Massachusetts governor penned a 2008 column titled “Let Detroit go bankrupt
“I don’t want to get going on these guys because it is not appropriate,” Biden said. “I think it ends on January 20th of next year–Barack and I once again standing up with a majority in the Congress being sworn in as president and vice president
Arguing that while House Republicans are merely “obstructing the president’s agenda,” the GOP candidates genuinely “believe what they are saying” on the campaign trail
Biden also cited Gingrich’s popular attack line that President Barack Obama is the “food stamp president,” as well as the former House speaker’s argument that children in urban areas have poor work ethics
Biden, who has largely refrained from commenting on the race, specifically targeted the two candidates while speaking at a Democratic retreat in Maryland.Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @politicalticker

Santorum: there hasn’t even been a discussion as to whether to get out of this race.
Posted on | January 27, 2012 | No Comments
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Two highlights from the interview are after the jump. Rick Santorum spoke with CNN's Wolf Blitzer about last night’s CNN debate and Santorum’s plans for the future of his campaign
Look, I – I've said it before, you know, we – we just, in many respects, from a financial point of view, just really have gotten our sea legs in the last few weeks. But we're not at the point – we're raising a lot of money right now, more than – multiples more than we've raised before. And we're doing very, very well
So we feel very good. We're going to surprise some people come Tuesday
BLITZER: And so you're staying in this race. So you have no plans to drop out, right?
I really believe that we're going to – our campaign is going to be – going to be alive and well for – for a long, long time. I have no doubt in my mind that when the Republicans take a look at who is the viable, the best conservative to run against Barack Obama, that it's going to end up being me. And we're going to have to fight through that for the next – the next few weeks. I believe we're going to win this
SANTORUM: We're – we're not doing – I don't know if we're doing any – we may be – I know we're doing some things that, you know, I don't know if you'd call it paid advertising. But, you know, calls and – and some mailing and things like that, to – to targeted groups
And it's going to be an opportunity for us to be able to rise and be the – be the conservative that – that folks have been looking for in this race.But I think what you saw last night and what you're going to see here in Florida and what you're going to see in the weeks ahead, is you're going to see this race change again
