Week In The News: Zawahiri Is In, Libya Drags On, Weiner Gets Out

Rumblings of big change this week.

In Europe, riots in Greece and deepening debt worries shaking markets around the world, Wall Street very much included. In Congress, deep new questions about U.S. military commitments. In Libya. In Afghanistan. Across that border, sharp American unhappiness with Pakistan, and it’s mutual.

We’ve got Anthony Weiner, out. Republican presidential contenders stepping up. Wildfire and high water.

“Gay girl in Damascus,” outed. Not gay, not a girl, not in Damascus.
