Attorney General Michael Mukasey outlined plans to ease post Watergate limits on FBI national security and criminal investigations to boost terror detection.

Whites will lose majority status in U.S. by 2042
Government projections from the Census Bureau show whites no longer the majority by 2042, eight years earlier than 2004 estimates. Growth in immigration and minority birth rates fuels the shift, while the population ages with baby boomers. The U.S. population is about 305 million now and projected to reach 439 million by 2050.
