US F-15 pilot may dodge court martial over Iraq Black Hawk downing
A U.S. Air Force investigator recommended dropping charges against F-15 pilot Lt. Col. Randy May in the April 14 1994 downing of two Black Hawk helicopters in northern Iraq. The ruling was sent to May’s commander Maj. Gen. Eugene Santarelli after an Article 32 hearing. Twenty six people died in the incident.

Secret Service knew of Kennedy assassination plot
Miami police files confirm the Secret Service was warned of a possible rifle attack on President Kennedy from a Dallas office building at least a week before the November 22, 1963 killing. An informant tied to right wing organizer Somersett gave the detail, and Lt Kay had relayed a similar claim years earlier. The memo dated November 15, 1963, supports prior awareness by federal agents.
