What We've Found: opium crop fields, Gitmo, protected sharks, etc.

Lara Coleman here with your morning OK-it's-always-noontime-now fix:

Will McNabb go to St. Louis? That’s the question facing Eagles managers — a question Philly fans are anxious to learn the answer to.

What a world: Catholic officials seem to be de facto supporting a priest (by not defrocking him) on trial for molesting over 200 deaf boys. Seriously, is 2012 here yet?

For the first time in a looooong time — three decades to be specific — Social Security recipients won’t get an increase in their benefits come next year.

US Marines find themselves in a difficult situation: If they destroy opium crop fields, they may very well likely lose the support of Afghanis. Awkward.

The U.N. agrees to protect one type of shark while allowing others to be hunted freely, mainly by the Japanese for shark fin soup.

Obama is the next Bush?! The new administration is rethinking everything from Gitmo to trial detainees.
