INTERNATIONAL 1. Drop in oil prices causes military to cut spending
BAGHADD — Failing oil prices will force Iraq to cut back on military spending, leaving questions about whether it can handle tasks such as protecting oil platforms in the Gulf once the American pullout is complete, a top U.S. commander said.
Iraq's leaders now have to decide where the cuts will be deepest: arms, patrol boats or air power — all of which the country needs to create a fully functioning security force.
"It's a matter of capability and how much risk they are willing to take to spread that capability out ... because the money is so tight," Lt. Gen. Frank Helmk, commander of Multi-National Security Transition Command, said.
Iraq's security plans for this year have been dragged down along with the price of oil, which is now about $45 a barrel after hitting highs last summer of $150 a barrel.
2. Tomb of Amenhotep exhumed after 130 years
CAIRO — Belgian archaeologists have unearthed a 3,500-year-old pharaonic official's tomb that had disappeared under sand in southern Egypt after it was first discovered about 130 years ago.
Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities said in a statement Sunday that the Belgian team in Luxor uncovered the tomb of Amenhotep, the deputy seal-bearer for King Thutmose III who ruled Egypt in the 18th Dynasty
VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI is encouraging political leaders and industrialists to make workers and their families the priority during the economic crisis.
3. Pope proposes political leaders think of economy
The tomb was first discovered in 1880 by Swedish Egyptologist Karl Piehl.
Benedict spoke to pilgrims in St. Peter's Square Sunday. Flat autoworkers from southern Italy, worried about the future of their factory, were in the crowd.
NATIONAL 4. Second state approves assisted suicide medicine

assisted suicide medicine
OLYMPIA, Wash. — Terminally ill patients with less than six months to live will soon be able to ask their doctors to prescribe them lethal medication in Washington state.
But even though the "Death with Dignity" law takes effect Thursday, people who might seek the life-ending prescriptions could find their doctors conflicted or not willing to write them.
Many doctors are hesitant to talk publicly about where they stand on the issue, said Dr. Tom Preston, a retired cardiologist and board member of Compassion & Choices, the group that campaigned for the law.
Washington becomes the second state, behind Oregon, to have a voter-approved measure allowing assisted suicide.
BASTROP, Texas — A wildfire fueled by grass, brush and trees

The wildfire has charred just over a square mile since it was started Saturday by a fallen power line.
6. 15-year-old girl beaten by sheriff's deputy on tape
SEATTLE — A King County sheriff's deputy kicks a 15-year-old girl, slams her to the floor of a jail cell, strikes her and pulls her hair in violence captured on videotape.
Prosecutors released the surveillance video Friday in the assault case against Deputy Paul Schene, who is accused of using excessive force on the girl. Schene, 31, pleaded not guilty to fourth-degree assault in Superior Court on Thursday.
