The website of the Yes campaign for the independence referendum has been criticised after appearing to cite people who follow the campaign on Twitter as supporters. YesScotland.net presents images of social media followers under the heading "Powered by people o' independent mind, like you...". But after people who do not support independence saw their images on the site, YesScotland bosses changed the wording to "Already thousands have followed Yes Scotland, here are some of them..." The website is powered by NationBuilder, cutting edge social campaigning software inspired by the Obama campaign's successful new media strategy from the 2008 US presidential election. Adriel Hampton of NationBuilder was speaking to Rona Dougall on Scotland Tonight on Wednesday about the software. Author: STVNews Duration: 5:12

"Memorial Day weekend brought news of more US drone attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan as The New York Times raises new questions about President Obama's so-called "Kill List" of terrorists targeted for assassination. An extensive report in Tuesday's paper looks at the use of targeted attacks to take out terrorism suspects in other parts of the world, an increasingly important part of the government's anti-terrorism policies that Barack Obama himself has taken personal responsibility for. According to the story, the President approves every name on the list of terrorism targets, reviewing their biographies and the evidence against them, and then authorizing "lethal action without hand-wringing." As the president has slowly drawn down American forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, the use of drone attacks to take out senior leaders of al-Qaeda and the Taliban has become the primary tactic for fighting terrorism overseas. However, it raises a lot of legal and ethical questions about extra-judicial killings of individuals, particularly those who happen to be American citizens...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down. *Read more from Dashiell Bennett in The Atlantic Wire: www.theatlanticwire.com Read the NY Times report from Jo Becker and Scott Shane: www.nytimes.com Support The Young Turks by Subscribing bit.ly Like Us on Facebook: www.fb.com Follow Us on Twitter: twitter.com Find out how to watch The Young Turks on Current by clicking here: www.current.com Author: TheYoungTurks Duration: 11:59
Travels with Barry Obama in 1981 Produced by Obama Files web.me.com The current rage of smothered information about Barack Obama's hidden past is his college transcripts: specifically, how a mediocre student, self-professed to be a pot-smoking, cocaine snorting, jobless free spirit during his Occidental days transferred and paid for an Ivy League college—Columbia University. But I think an equally salient question is how Obama paid for his round-the-world trip to Indonesia and Pakistan in the summer of 1981, before he made his way to New York to begin his term at Columbia. Did his wealthy Pakistani friends Wahid Hamid and Mohammed Hasan Chandoo foot the bill? Was Obama dealing drugs to finance the trip? We don't know because Obama has never addressed the question. It is a question that should be answered by Obama now. Today. Author: Kris Zane Duration: 1:36
