• New York Times: Obama's health plan will cost $1 trillion, and still leave tens of millions uninsured.
• Khalid Shaikh Mohammed says he made things up—including bin Laden's whereabouts, and falsely implicating others as being members of Al-Qaeda—to get captors to stop torturing him. Meanwhile, the CIA tortured Abu Zubaida for three months before realizing he wasn't the person they thought he was.
