Report: CIA Edited Libya Talking Points The CIA heavily edited what information would go into the intelligence summary sent to the White House, a report in the Wall Street Journal claimed on Tuesday. Now known as the famous "talking points" that U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice repeated on the Sunday talk shows—which became a major rallying cry for Republicans questioning Rice and the White House's knowledge of the Benghazi attack that claimed the lives of the U.S. ambassador and three others. The 94-word intelligence summary was written after two dozen officials had a daylong email debate that watered down the evidence until it scrubbed all mention of al Qaeda.

Belcher's Last Moments Revealed Days after the tragic murder-suicide that rocked the sporting world, details continue to emerge about Jovan Belcher's final hours in the lead-up to the act. The Kansas City Star is reporting that the night before the murder, Belcher spent the night at another woman's apartment, where he stayed until 6 a.m. Police reportedly had contact with Belcher around 2:50 a.m., after neighbors called 911 to report a suspicious parked car outside the woman's home. Seconds before the NFL linebacker shot his longtime girlfriend the next day, he allegedly kissed her forehead and apologized. Belcher then reportedly apologized to his mother, who claims she heard gunfire after an alleged altercation between the couple, and kissed his 3-month-old daughter before driving to the Kansas City Chiefs stadium, where he turned the gun on himself. Belcher reportedly confessed to police officers before killing himself. Read it at Kansas City Star RIOT 5.
