37 Percent of All U.S. Deaths in Afghanistan War Have Occurred Since Obama’s Troop Surge CNSNews.com) – More than a third of all U.S. casualties in the nearly nine-year-long war in Afghanistan have occurred since May 15, 2009, the day when the first major wave of President Barack Obama’s troop surge arrived in that country.

President Obama, meanwhile, is planning to freeze the program’s budget for fiscal 2011. According to a Congressional Research Service report, a lack of funding could hamper expansion of the Visa Security Program to the many high-risk consulates that still do not have a unit.
Obama Administration Tries to Combat Growing Criticism From Right and Left Over Response to Oil Spill (CNSNews.com) – Amid mounting criticism of its response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the Obama administration on Wednesday released a day-by-day account of its response, stressing that it was quick to take action.

Immigration Law Identical to Federal Laws Requiring Alien Documentation, Attorney Who Helped Craft It Says (CNSNews.com) – One of the men who helped write Arizona’s new immigration law said he’s confident it will withstand legal challenges, because the law specifically addresses issues such as racial profiling, which are likely to be the basis of state or federal lawsuits.
Sen. Cornyn: ‘More Boots on the Ground,’ ‘Better Technology’ Needed to Secure U.S. Border (CNSNews.com) – “Clearly the border is still too porous and is being exploited for all sorts of criminal purposes,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) told CNSNews.com.
Republican Senator Pushes for Completion of Double-Layer Border Fence (CNSNews.com) – Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) says he will introduce an amendment requiring the federal government to complete 700 miles of secure, double-layer fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border within one year. More than 600 miles of single-layer pedestrian fencing and vehicle barriers now exist, but critics say the current infrastructure is not secure enough.
Times Square Bombing Attempt No Systemic Failure, White House Says Washington (CNSNews.com) – After the failed attempt to blow up a passenger jet over Detroit on Christmas Day, President Obama asserted, “A system failure has occurred.” But the White House says there was no system failure in the Times Square bombing attempt, even though the suspect almost got away.
