Michael Moore slams US govt over Cuba probe
1 hour, 57 minutes ago
Firebrand director Michael Moore lashed out at the United States government on Friday following revelations he is being investigated over a recent trip to Cuba for his new film.
Moore is the subject of a probe by the US Treasury after he took a group of rescue workers in the September 11, 2001 attacks to Cuba for medical treatment during filming of "Sicko," possibly violating a 45-year-old US embargo that limits trade and travel to the country.

Imus producer: Sharpton a 'race-baiter'
Sat May 12, 7:20 AM ET
Don Imus' former producer on Friday called Rev. Al Sharpton a "race-baiter" who was looking for attention when he led a campaign to fire the radio host, while Sharpton said Imus and his producer got what they deserved for making a racist, sexist remark on the air.
Bernard McGuirk and Sharpton appeared together for a combative debate on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" show. The producer was fired last month for his part in an exchange on the "Imus in the Morning" program in which the members of the Rutgers University women's basketball team were called "nappy-headed hos."

U.S. study finds billions of Iraqi oil missing: NYT
Sat May 12, 1:23 AM ET
Billions of dollars' worth of Iraq's declared oil production over the past four years is unaccounted for, possibly having been siphoned off through corruption or smuggling, The New York Times said on Saturday.
Between 100,000 and 300,000 barrels of Iraq's daily output of roughly 2 million barrels is missing, it said, citing a draft report prepared by the U.S. Government Accountability Office and government energy analysts which is expected to be released next week.
New plan would mandate HIV tests in N.J.
By TOM HESTER Jr., Associated Press WriterSat May 12, 12:33 AM ET
New Jersey would become the first state to require both pregnant women and newborns to be tested for HIV under a proposal introduced by the Senate president.
The bill would require all pregnant women be tested for HIV twice, once early in the pregnancy and a second time in the third trimester. Every birthing facility in the state would have to test all newborns in their care
