Dodd unveils sweeping financial regulation plan
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd introduces a 1336 page bill to expand federal financial regulation. The proposal would empower the government to break up dangerous firms, make the industry pay for its failures, and establish an independent consumer watchdog within the Federal Reserve. It stops short of Obama’s broader restructuring and House-passed measures.

Afghan government held secret talks with Taliban leader before Baradar arrest
Afghanistan acknowledged secret discussions with the Taliban's No 2 figure Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar at the time of his capture in Karachi, a move that angered President Hamid Karzai and intensified debate over whether the United States backs talks with leaders tied to the September 11 attacks. The adviser cited says Baradar had given a green light to join Karzai's three day peace jirga, while officials noted Pakistan and other nations positioning themselves on reconciliation as U.S. and NATO forces reinforce. Karzai warned that talks require U.S. and international backing, and implicated Pakistan in potentially sabotaging negotiations. Internal disagreements between Karzai and allies on who sits at the table were highlighted as the process accelerates toward a possible endgame in Afghanistan.
