Cheat Sheet - The Man Who Brought Down Awlaki

The Cheat Sheet

Today: Northeast Digs Out After Blizzard , SOTU to Focus on Jobs , LAPD To Investigate Dorner’s Firing
Cheat Sheet: Morning

February 10, 2013
DOUBLE AGENT

Even Obama knew the name of the Danish double agent who never got his due for helping lead U.S. drones to Anwar al-Awlaki. Now he's telling his own story.

NEMO

Don’t let all the Instagram photos of children sledding fool you. As the region began assessing the damage from the storm, officials blamed nine deaths on the blizzard that struck the Northeastern U.S. and Canada on Friday and Saturday. Two people were killed in Boston, including a 14-year-old boy, and another two were injured from carbon monoxide poisoning. Roads in some areas remained impassable over the weekend: on Saturday, Boston lifted its historic travel ban, the first of its kind imposed since the historic blizzard of 1978. In New York’s Long Island, key roads began to reopen although some vehicles remained stuck in the snow, and the area’s main roadway’s, the Long Island Expressway, eastern half will be closed from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday for snow removal.

SECOND TERM

Get those bets ready for what President Obama’s grand ambition will be in Tuesday’s State of the Union address. Sources said the president will focus the speech—his first State of the Union of his second term—on the economy as the unemployment rate ticked up last month—as well the need for public investment in infrastructure, education, and research. The president is also expected to propose ways to make college more affordable. At a policy retreat in Virginia on Thursday, the president said that the priority of his second term “starts with an economy that works for everybody.” According to speechwriter Cody Keenan on Friday, the president “likes” the draft of the speech he saw last week. Obama’s speechwriters began drafting the State of the Union after Election Day in November.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS

The Los Angeles police said on Saturday that they will reopen the investigation into the 2009 firing of Christopher Joseph Dorner, as the fugitive continued to elude authorities on Saturday. Dorner allegedly killed three people and wounded two others over the past week in apparent revenge plot against the LAPD for firing him. Dorner was stripped of his badge in 2009 after allegedly making false statements against his training officer, who he accused of kicking a mentally ill man during an arrest during years earlier. Acknowledging that he is “aware” of the LAPD’s history of racism, police chief Charlie Beck insisted the investigation is “not to appease a murderer,” but rather to assure the community that the department is fair and transparent.

JODI ARIAS

This year's highest-profile trial also involves a pretty young brunette accused of a horrible murder. But unlike Anthony, Jodi Arias dared to take the stand. The Daily Beast's Christine Pelisek on the sensational murder trial.
