U S Must Address Homegrown Terror Threat Now
A Washington report by former 9/11 Commission leaders warns the United States failed to take root threats from homegrown radicals seriously. It notes many incidents from Fort Hood to Times Square show a diversified, persistent danger with no federal agency charged to identify radicalization or prevent recruitment.

Medal of Honor to live Afghan war hero Salvatore Giunta
President Obama awarded Army Spec. Salvatore Giunta the Medal of Honor, making him the first living recipient from any war since Vietnam. Giunta, 25, aided three wounded soldiers during the Oct. 25, 2007 Korengal Valley ambush in Afghanistan while his unit faced Taliban fire. Three paratroopers died and others were seriously wounded in the assault. Defense officials note no change in award criteria, while critics say Iraq and Afghanistan medals suffer public recognition. Giunta remains stationed with the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Italy.

More than 2,000 supporters gathered with candles and flags to honor victims, separate from the controversy. U.S. figures including Rep. Keith Ellison urged focusing on victims and responders.
