A few reads for the day...

1. The mysterious Washington "Whodunit"...After the The Washington Post's Bob Woodward reported yesterday on the 66-page report from the U.S. military commander in Afghanistan to Pres. Obama, the question today is "Who leaked it and what was his/her motive?"
2. With Gen. McChrystal's assessment released, The Washington Post's Eugene Robinson gives his take on where Pres. Obama should go from here on the war in Afghanistan. Should the U.S. send more troops? Should the U.S. rely on strengthening the Afghan government? What strategy is going to work?
3. Gen. Stanley McChrystal suggests that Pakistani and Iranian intelligence agencies are aiding Taliban fighters against coalition forces in Afghanistan. How will this affect U.S. strategy in Afghanistan and our nation's relations with these countries?
4. Pres. Obama is in New York meeting at the United Nations General Assembly to discuss some of the world's greatest problems, including such hot topics as climate change, global finance, and Iran's nuclear program. The president will address the General Assembly on Wednesday.
5. Today the Senate Finance Committee begins reworking the Baucus bill with a main goal of "keeping the final price tag below $900 billion". The committee has a lineup of over 500 amendments to consider to the proposed bill.
