Government shutdown may be coming over Obamacare, we look at the effects of political red tape, and more on the Buzzsaw news. Abu Ghraib torture victims are ordered to pay defense contractors for their legal costs, NSA personal spying gets blasted by Sen. Chuck Grassley, and Allen West loses his job as a right-wing hack. Plus HSBC promises they aren’t laundering money any more, but we look into their business a little deeper.
