SCANDALS
1. Dubya's Quiet $15 Million Payday
George W. Bush said after bin Laden's killing that he wanted to stay out
of the public eye. But Peter H. Stone of the Center for Public
Integrity's iWatch News says 43's becoming a high-profile figure on the
buck-raking circuit.

REVENGE
2. Taliban Strikes U.S. Officials in Pakistan
A Taliban car bomb struck a vehicle carrying U.S. government forces to a
major convoy in Peshawar, Pakistan on Friday, the Associated Press
reports. The bomb injured two Americans, killed one Pakistani civilian,
and wounded at least 10 others. The militants admitted in a statement
that the attack was planned in revenge for the death of the late al
Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden. "We say to the Americans and NATO that we
will carry out more deadly attacks and we can do it," said Taliban
spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan over the phone from a hidden location. "We
had warned that we will avenge the martyrdom of Osama." And the Islamist
extremist group is sticking to its word. The Taliban's Spring Offensive
has been alarmingly violent and destructive - particularly in
Afghanistan - but this is the first direct attack on the U.S. since the
raid on bin Laden.
