U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, who has emerged as one of the most vocal critics of President Obama's prosecution of the "War on Terror," on Friday sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder urging him to reconsider the Obama administrations decision to prosecute Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, former al-Qaida spokesman and son-in-law of Osama bin Laden, on American soil.
Earlier this month Abu Ghaith was secretly brought to New York to stand trial for conspiring to kill Americans.

Rick Scott Still Steamed Over Citizens Property Excesses
March 7, 2013 - 6:00pm
Gov. Rick Scott is usually pretty even tempered --he moves from issue to issue with a keen focus, addresses it and moves on.
But when the issue turns to Citizens Property Insurance Corp., he can get downright angry.
Scott and the chief of Citizens are not on the same page over some big raises for a handful of top executives at the state-run insurer.
President and CEO Barry Gilway awarded raises ranging between $25,000 and $31,000 to five top employees. Now the companys chief financial officer earns $255,000 a year.

March 7, 2013 - 6:00pm
Oh, Canada, come on down. And feel free to drive.
State lawmakers are speeding toward repealing a new law that says international visitors need special permits to drive in Florida. The law, which took effect Jan. 1, has caused a brouhaha, particularly for Canadian snowbirds who pile into the Sunshine State each winter to take a break from the cold.
"We want to make sure we send a clear message that our state is open for business,'' said Rep. Daniel Davis, a Jacksonville Republican who is shepherding a repeal bill through the House.
