Critics point to the FBI's role in providing a fake vest and conducting a test detonation in a West Virginia quarry as evidence of a manufactured 'lone wolf' narrative. Meanwhile, Congressman Peter King and CNN's Aaron Burnett characterize Iran as the primary threat to domestic security despite intelligence officials confirming no specific plot exists. Pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Purdue Pharma are leveraging the death of Whitney Houston to lobby for tighter regulations on generic medications. Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack are pushing legislation targeting internet pharmacies, while Purdue Pharma replaces original OxyContin with a crush-proof formula in Canada. In the GOP primary, Rick Santorum faces backlash for false claims regarding Dutch euthanasia bracelets, and Mitt Romney struggles with candidate gaffes as rumors of a Jeb Bush entry into the race circulate among party elites. Australian Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd makes headlines after a profanity-laced teleprompter meltdown goes viral on YouTube.
