Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

Update: US Central Command says today that it and Syrian partners killed or captured "nearly" 25 ISIS members in Syria (7 confirmed dead by CENTCOM figures) Dec. 20-29. That is separate from the big strikes on Dec. 19 that went after 70 targets (how many killed specifically, we don't know).
So okay. The US, military or otherwise, carried out attacks in Somalia, Nigeria and Venezeula between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Going wider to last week there were at least six different operations between Dec. 22-25.
