Spelling Counts: "If you're going buy something with a forged cashier's check, don't misspell 'cashier's' or use an FBI office as your shipping address. Monroe [Louisiana] police said they arrested 44-year-old man after he did both. He was held Friday on two counts of forgery and as a fugitive from justice in Georgia, where he is accused of a similar scheme." AP story here.

Attorney Fees: "The top lawyer for ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich reluctantly agreed Friday to be paid far below the rate some lawyers usually charge in return for being allowed to tap his $2.3 million campaign fund," Mike Robinson reports for AP. "In court papers filed Friday morning, attorney Sheldon Sorosky accepted the rate of $110 an hour, which is the legal limit court-appointed lawyers can charge in federal cases.... Federal prosecutors had said they would not object to the defense using the fund if the hourly rate were limited. If attorneys had billed the fund at a high rate, they said, it would soon be exhausted."

Suppressed Memories: "Congressional leaders were briefed in detail about techniques used in the Central Intelligence Agency's interrogation program, according to a new intelligence document," reports Siobhan Gorman in the WSJ. "The document appears to conflict with recent statements from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was then the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee. Ms. Pelosi has said she hadn't been told that the CIA was using the technique known as waterboarding, or simulated drowning. According to the document, Ms. Pelosi was one of the first lawmakers briefed on the interrogations in 2002."
