Times Square bomb probe – A man from Pakistan who became an American citizen last year is under arrest in the Times Square car bomb incident.  Faisal Shahzad, 30, was removed from an airliner last night as it was about to take off from New York for the Middle East. There are indications authorities deliberately waited until the last possible instant to make the arrest in hopes Shahzad would call a co-conspirator.  No word on whether he did. We'll continue to follow all developments in this story, including Shahzad's expected court appearance today and minute-by-minute updates on the story.

Gulf oil spill - Democratic lawmakers will talk to officials of the Sierra Club and Environment America today about the oil well leak in the Gulf of Mexico. Sens. Frank Lautenberg, Robert Menendez and Bill Nelson want to raise the existing cap on how much oil companies pay for damages resulting from spills.  Right now, that cap is $75 million.  They want to raise it to $10 billion. Nelson says he doesn't believe BP's claim that it will pay for the damage done by the leak. "BP says it'll pay for this mess. Baloney," said Nelson, referring to the oil giant that owns the well at the heart of the problem.
