Prior to his 2021 arrival in the United States, the suspect worked with the U.S. government, including the CIA, "as a member of a partner force in Kandahar," John Ratcliffe, the spy agency's director, said in a statement. He did not specify what work Lakamal did, but said the relationship "ended shortly following the chaotic evacuation" of U.S. servicemembers from Afghanistan.

oh god dammit
Investigators believe the suspect is an Afghan national who entered the U.S. in September 2021 and has been living in Washington state, two law enforcement officials and a person familiar with the matter said. The suspect has been identified by law enforcement officials as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, but authorities were still working to fully confirm his background, they said.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT: The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures. This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality. Further official comments will be limited, to preserve the integrity of the proceedings. The Department of War reminds all individuals that military retirees remain subject to the UCMJ for applicable offenses, and federal laws such as 18 U.S.C. § 2387 prohibit actions intended to interfere with the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces. Any violations will be addressed through appropriate legal channels. All servicemembers are reminded that they have a legal obligation under the UCMJ to obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful. A servicemember's personal philosophy does not justify or excuse the disobedience of an otherwise lawful order.

that was physically painful to read, I think the phrase “employ innovation as an operation” may have caused a TBI
A primary end-state of the WIC Governance model is to move beyond viewing innovation as a side project and start to embed it as a core function of the command. "We want to employ innovation as an operation so that we can do integrated innovation activities across the staff, complementing our more traditional command and control structures," said U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Jared Bindl, chief of science, technology and innovation at AFRICOM.

“Two of the U.S. officials said covert operations would likely be the first part of the new action against Maduro”

doesn’t claiming credit for covert action IN ADVANCE … defeat the entire point?

what the fuck
Dubón won the American League Gold Glove Award for utility players in 2023 and 2025. He has produced a .677 OPS over the past three seasons for the Astros. But he's still a definite offensive upgrade in comparison to Allen, who logged a .535 OPS while serving as Atlanta's primary shortstop much of this past season.

Fun fact: there is one! Not truly random, but still. The first word of an operation or exercise name should start with one of the two-letter combinations assigned to each organization

1) not even a single mention of statutory or constitutional authority in this story
2) I guess the CBS style guide now uses “Secretary of War” 🙄

“I would certainly not want to rely on the rationale I've read”
"It reads as if you gave a lawyer an assignment: Give me the best possible rationale for why this is legal — be as inventive as you like," Sen. Adam Schiff (D-California), a former federal prosecutor, told reporters last week. "If that opinion were to be adopted, it would not constrain any use of force anywhere in the world. I mean, it is broad enough to authorize just about anything." He added that he saw legal risk to service members for participating in these operations. "I would certainly not want to rely on the rationale I've read," Schiff said.
