							<description><![CDATA[When it became clear last fall that the CIA&rsquo;s now discredited Benghazi talking points were flawed, the White House said repeatedly the documents were put together almost entirely by the intelligence community, but White House documents reviewed by Congress suggest a different story.ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that show they were extensively edited as they evolved from the drafts first written entirely by the CIA to the final version distributed to Congress and to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice before she appeared on five talk shows the Sunday after that attack.]]></description>

Haley Barbour said said on the &#194;&#147;This Week&#194;&#148; roundtable that it is growing more and more likely that it will be months before his party coalesces around a nominee and that there will likely be a contested Republican convention.&#194;&#147;We have had twice &#194;&#151; three times really &#194;&#151; Governor Romney looked like he was poised to begin coalescing, and each time he lost the next week, and now we&#194;&#146;re at another juncture,&#194;&#148; Barbour said.]]></description>

							<description><![CDATA[In 1989, the Yale Law Review created a stir with an article by a self-described liberal calling the Second Amendment "an embarrassment, like the drunken uncle who shows up at the family reunion." Liberals ignore it, the author wrote, but "they would never be so cavalier with an amendment they like."For most of its history, the Supreme Court also viewed the Second Amendment like that embarrassing uncle, avoiding cases that would force it to rule on the central question: Is the right "to keep and bear arms" an individual right or one that applies only to "a well-regulated militia"?
