President Obama argued a shifted counterterrorism focus toward smaller networks and homegrown extremists at a National Defense University address. He defended drone strikes as essential while urging Congress to close Guantanamo and allow more oversight, yet maintain CIA control of lethal actions. He warned no total defeat of terror and emphasized minimizing civilian harm, with four Americans killed in drone strikes disclosed by the Justice Department.

Defense releases Trayvon Martin materials in Zimmerman's murder case

Defense releases texts and photos from Trayvon Martin’s phone showing fighting talk, smoking, and a possible marijuana plant. A hearing next week will decide if this material can be used at George Zimmerman's trial, with prosecutors seeking to exclude it to avoid jury bias. Zimmerman’s attorney argues past fighting claims could be relevant if the state portrays Martin as nonviolent. The defense also seeks a delay to consult an expert on speech identification.
