A Navy captain who as head of a jury in a war-crimes court wrote a damning letter calling the C.I.A.’s torture of a terrorist “a stain on the moral fiber of America” said his views are typical of senior members of the U.S. military.

It amazes me that someone who can afford to drive around in such an expensive Lexus four wheel drive car can actually be claiming food stamps. She does say at one stage in the video that it would be impossible for anyone to tell whose food stamps she was actually using, her grandmother's etc.

Alam says within minutes, he watched as the spout of water grew and the canopy over his gas pumps was no match for it. "It was like a tsunami like a tornado."

No one was hurt, but Alam's insurance company says it's going to take $65,000 to fix the canopy. "My insurance said the city should take care of that." But, at this point, a city attorney says Tulsa...
