Pilots in Afghan friendly fire case deny go pills use
Two U S pilots accused in the Kandahar bombing say amphetamines known as go pills were issued to help them stay awake during long missions. Their defense argues the pills impaired judgment and that Canadian troops firing live ammunition were not disclosed. The hearing may last about two weeks and could lead to court martial for involuntary manslaughter.

New York City Cuts Security Detail for Giuliani
New York City halves former mayor Rudolph Giuliani's security force and asks him to pay travel costs for nine officers after about 20 guards protected him since 2002. The move follows Giuliani's growing private work and city budget pressures while he tours Mexico City with his firm's police reform contract.
