New bill in Texas House seeks to allow guns on campus
Members of the Texas State House are hoping to pass a new law that would require colleges and universities to allow students over the age of 21 to carry concealed handguns on campus.
Proponents of the bill including Jeff Wentworth (R) argue concealed weapons are the best way to combat a Virgina Tech copy-cat shooting in Texas. Meanwhile, opponents like Eddie Rodriguez (D) say colleges and universities should be able to choose on an individual basis whether or not to embrace such a policy. Reps. Wentworth and Rodriguez talk to American Morning's Kiran Chetry.
Did the U.S. intelligence community miss protest warning signs?
The Obama administration continues to try to strike a diplomatic balance between condemning the Mubarak regime and maintaining its friendly relationship with Egypt as the protests persist. But, did the United States intelligence community miss signs of the uprisings before they broke out?
Michael Scheuer is a former CIA Counterterrorism Analyst who once headed the CIA's Bin Laden Unit. He talks to CNN's T.J. Holmes about Egypt and other matters of U.S. and international security.
Cyber attacks ramping up in WikiLeaks support
(CNN) - Though its founder is cooling his heels in a London jail and major credit-card firms have refused to process its donations, the website WikiLeaks continued to trickle out documents from its vast cache of sensitive U.S. diplomatic cables Wednesday.
WikiLeaks' supporters in the computer-hacking community turned their ire against organizations that had cut off the site. Among the targets were the website of Sweden's national prosecutor's office, which is seeking the extradition from Britain of WikiLeaks' creator and editor-in-chief, Julian Assange. The attacks have also targeted the corporate websites of Visa and MasterCard, and now Sarah Palin’s website, SarahPAC.com.
The denial of service attacks appear to be the work of a group that calls itself “Anonymous.”
Just how much chaos can these pranksters cause?
Noah Shachtman, contributing editor with Wired Magazine and editor of the “Danger Room” national security blog, joins American Morning’s John Roberts to explain who these hackers are, and who their next targets might be.
