Mr. Biden: My strong inclination was to disapprove of it across the board [Alaska oil drilling]. But the advise I got from council was that if that were the case, we may very well lose in court…lose that case to the oil company. And then, not be able to do what I really want to do beyond that. And that is to conserve significant amounts of Alaskan sea and land forever. I was able to see to it that we conserve millions of acres of sea and land forever, so it can't be used in the future.

PHOENIX: "An officer was shot Friday morning in south Phoenix and police were searching for the suspect. Phoenix Police said the officer suffered the gunshot wound in “a violent and unprovoked attack” near Seventh Avenue and Roeser Road, between Baseline Road and Southern Avenue. The officer was taken to a hospital with injuries that aren’t considered life-threatening, police said. The Phoenix Law Enforcement Association issued a statement Friday afternoon with details the police department hasn’t confirmed.

“This morning, a dedicated Phoenix Police Officer was shot while responding to a call of a vehicle that had crashed into a residence. The caller advised that he thought the driver of the vehicle had fled the scene possibly with a rifle. As the officer arrived on scene, the suspect, unbeknownst to everyone, had been waiting inside of his vehicle, jumped out with a rifle, and cowardly ambushed the officer. He fired several rounds at the officer with wanton disregard for everyone in the area.”
