Judge Toni Adet Novik, left, gestures at the opening of a corruption trial against Finmeccanica, at the Busto Arsizio court, northern Italy, Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Trial opened Wednesday against the former head of the Italian aerospace and defense giant Finmeccanica accused of corruption in a case involving alleged bribery to win a 560 million euro (670 million dollars) helicopter contract in India. Giuseppe Orsi, who resigned in February, faces charges of fraud and corruption in a case that has both tarnished the international image of the state-controlled company, Italy's second-largest industrial concern, and jeopardized the defense contractor's strategy to expand in India as the nation upgrades its military. Defendants in Italy are not required to appear their own trials and Orsi did not attend the opening session. (AP Photo/Luca Bruno)

In this Saturday, June 15, 2013 photo, Afghan Minister of Defense Bismullah Khan Mohammadi attends a graduation ceremony in Kabul, Afghanistan. One of the most significant turning points in one of America's longest and costliest wars is imminent: Afghanistan's fledgling security forces are taking the lead for security nationwide, bringing the moment of truth on the question of whether they are ready to fight an insurgency that remains resilient after nearly 12 years of conflict. That question is especially pressing here in this border region where insurgents regularly ambush government forces and control parts of the countryside. (AP Photo/Rahmat Gul)

FILE - In this Sept. 30, 2002, file photo Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld speaks at a Pentagon news conference to criticize Iraq for continuing to fire on U.S. and British warplanes patrolling over two no-fly zones. Ten years after the 1992 establishment of the first no-fly zone over Iraq, and despite daily U.S. jet flights to enforce it, the U.S. did not prevent then-dictator Saddam Hussein, a Sunni Muslim, from persecuting and killing hundreds of thousands of Shiites whom he viewed as a political threat to his regime. That failure is now being used as a case in point of why the U.S. should, or shouldn't, police Syria's skies to prevent Syrian President Bashar Assad from accelerating a two-year death toll that last week reached 93,000.

In this April 19, 2013 photo, Ray Krone poses at his home in Newport, Tenn. Krone was convicted in 1992 and again in 1996, after winning a new trial, in the death of a Phoenix bartender found naked and stabbed in the men's restroom of her workplace. A forensic dentist testified at both trials that bite marks on the bartender's breast and neck could have come only from Krone. The jury at Krone's second trial found him guilty despite three top forensic dentists who testified for the defense that Krone couldn't have made the bite mark. In 2002, DNA testing matched a different man, proving Krone's innocence, and he was released. (AP Photo/Wade Payne)
