Tounisi stood before the judge in orange jail garb and slippers, flanked
by U.S. marshals. Some 30 friends and relatives sat on spectator benches;
several cried after the judge ruled..Approving the release of anyone accused
on terrorism charges is uncommon, said Phil Turner, a former federal prosecutor
and now private attorney in Chicago."It's incredibly extraordinary," he
said. "It's usually a different realm with terrorist suspects. They're not
viewed as standard criminals but as enemies of the U.S."Pressure on a
judge to hold a terrorist suspect would be all the greater now,
said Turner, in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings.Prosecutor William
Ridgway had argued that Tounisi posed a threat to the community, saying
he sought to hook up with the al-Qaida-linked group in Syria even
after his friend Daoud's arrest."One would think that would be a wake-up
call," Ridgway said about the arrest. "But it didn't deter him."Tounisi
persisted even as family and friends warned him not to get involved
with extremists, Ridgway said. He quoted a friend as saying about Tounisi
in a wiretap, "He will not die a martyr. He will die
like road kill."The prosecutor said Tounisi also is a flight risk, noting
how he had managed to secure a U.S. passport on short notice
and to scrape together money for a plane ticket."He's very resourceful,"
Ridgway told the judge.But Tounisi's attorney, Molly Armour, said Tounisi

Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies budget hearing on forest service.APWASHINGTON
The U.S. Forest Service is in the business of preventing fires,
not starting them.Yet the agency set off alarms in Congress and state
capitols across the West by citing the automatic spending cuts as the
basis for demanding that dozens of states return $17.9 million in federal
subsidies. And it's all come down to a bureaucratic squabble over whether
the money is subject to so-called sequestration because of the year it
was paid -- 2013 -- as the Obama administration contends, or exempt
from the cuts because of the year it was generated -- 2012
-- as the states insist.Right now, it's a standoff heightened by history
and hard fiscal realities. But with taxpayer cash scarce, both sides are
digging in: The Forest Service has to slash 5 percent of its
budget under sequestration. The states, meanwhile, have depended for decades
on a share of revenue from timber cut on federal land. Perhaps
least willing to compromise are members of Congress who are up for
re-election next year and are loath to let go of money that
benefits potential voters back home.It's not clear who gets to decide or
whether the question ends up in court. But lines have been drawn."We
