    Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee struck back against criticism of a commuted sentence that set free a man who allegedly killed four Seattle police offers Sunday. In 2000, Huckabee commuted the life sentence of Maurice Clemmons, 37, who was killed by law enforcement officers in a gun battle on Monday. After the commuted sentence drew political attention, Huckabee, who was widely believed to be considering a 2012 presidential run, said the criticism of his record was "disgusting."

    For an hour Monday, Rudolph W. Giuliani passionately made his case to voters seated in the Shell Point retirement community chapel. He talked of tax cuts and terrorist attacks, of building up the military and cracking down on illegal immigration. But in the end, he didn't seem to close the deal. Dozens of the more than 1,000 who attended the town hall event took off before Giuliani finished his speech, leaving rows of seats empty. "I didn't hear anything I hadn't heard before," said Barbara Vitello, 71. "It's the first time ever I'm going into the [presidential] election not knowing...
