[Daily Caller] The Daily Caller has obtained an advance copy of a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee report set to be released Tuesday morning that definitively proves malicious intent by the IRS to improperly block conservative groups that an IRS adviser deemed “icky.” (That’s right. “Icky.”)
“The Committee has identified eight senior leaders who were in a position to prevent or to stop the IRS’s targeting of conservative applicants,” the Oversight report states. “Each of these leaders could have and should have done more to prevent the IRS’s targeting of conservative tax-exempt applicants.” And the trail, where does it lead ?
[DAWN] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... on Monday beheaded a child rapist, adding to what activists say is one of the world's highest execution tolls.
The Interior Ministry said Suleiman bin Abdullah had been found guilty of kidnapping a male child, tying him up "and performing the obscene" act.
Authorities carried out the sentence against him in Buraydah city, northwest of Riyadh, the ministry said in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.
He was the latest of 84 Saudis and foreigners to be executed in the kingdom this year, according to an AFP tally.
Rape, murder, drug trafficking, apostasy and armed robbery are punishable by death under Saudi Arabia's strict version of Islamic Shariah law.

Grom, Polanski raped an infidel, and uncovered girl infidel at that. They'd probably ask him for advice.

It is unfortunate for the executee that he chose to rape a boy. Had he raped a girl of the same age, he would probably still be alive. The girl, of course, would have been executed for adultery.

[BLOOMBERG] North Korea’s limited access to the Internet has been cut off, according to a network-monitoring company, days after the U.S. government accused the country of hacking into Sony Corp. (6758)’s files.
North Korea, which has four official networks connecting the country to the Internet -- all of which route through China -- began experiencing intermittent problems yesterday and today went completely dark, according to Doug Madory, director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research in Hanover, New Hampshire.
U.S. President Barack Obama said last week that Sony Pictures Entertainment had suffered significant damage and vowed to respond. North Korea warned yesterday that any U.S. punishment over the hacking attack on would lead to a retaliation “thousands of times greater.” North Korea has said it doesn’t know the identity of the hackers -- who call themselves “Guardians of Peace” -- claiming responsibility for breaking into Sony’s computer network.
“The situation now is they are totally offline,” Madory said. “I don’t know that someone is launching a cyber-attack against North Korea, but this isn’t normal for them. Usually they are up solid. It is kind of out of the ordinary. This is not like anything I’ve seen before.”

If the US government doesn't actually do something and claim responsibility, then this was probably the "proportional response" they were alluding to.

Drudge links to two reports, both suggesting possible Anonymous script kiddie denial of servics attacks. At any rate, after about 9 hours of silence, North Korea reappeared, albeit spottily.
