Butler County American Red Cross leaders discuss finances and governance as they seek an executive director, aiming to raise 150000 locally to keep the Butler chapter independent. The chapter has faced closures and staffing cuts after fundraising fell short and tsunami funds were allocated elsewhere. Local supporters are urged to donate to sustain services.

Justice nominee questioned on torture policy at hearing
Timothy E. Flanigan, nominee for deputy attorney general, faced Senate scrutiny over the 2002 evolution of the administration view on detainee treatment. He defended his role while labeling some conclusions as sophomoric, with questions about prosecutor experience, congressional oversight, and ties to Abramoff. Flanigan suggested the president is never above the law and called certain interrogation methods abhorrent, as critics warned of conflicts of interest in the Justice Department leadership.
