The second-in-command at the Office of Special Counsel has announced his resignation. The FBI has been looking into whether the head of the office destroyed documents to obstruct a federal investigation. NPR's Ari Shapiro reports.

"Controversy has been a regular feature of Scott Bloch's tenure at the Office of Special Counsel. The Special Counsel's job is to pursue government whistle blower complaints. First Bloch was accused of ignoring those complaints and retaliating against his own employees. Then the government office started investigating those accusations and Bloch hired a company to scrub his computer. In May, the FBI raided Bloch's home and office to look into whether the computer scrub was illegal. Now Bloch's deputy has resigned. Jim Byrne sent a letter to employees of the Office of Special Counsel Thursday afternoon announcing his departure. The letter did not mention Bloch. But sources close to Byrne described this as a resignation in protest to Bloch's leadership. Bloch has given no indication that he plans to leave. Ari Shapiro, NPR News, Washington."

While it's believed to have been in a much smaller launch perhaps just involving one anti-ship missile, still the latest incidence of muscle-flexing by the Iranians were condemned by the US. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the Iranian leader should understand that Washington will not dismiss provocations from Tehran and has the ability to counter them.

The National Medical Association, the largest organization of African-American health professional/ says it accepted the apology of the American Medical Association for past policies that discriminated against blacks. NPR's Brenda Wilson reports.

"The NMA was founded in 1895 when membership in AMA was routinely denied to black doctors. Black doctors could only belong if they had been accepted by local affiliates of the AMA. When a group of black doctors from Howard University asked to be seated at the AMA annual meeting in 1870, the AMA then dominated by powerful southern forces refused. Through the years up to the 1960s, these policies of exclusion made it difficult for black doctors to find residencies and internships, and gain admitting privileges to hospitals. The NMA called on the AMA to seize upon the opportunity of the apology to correct past injustices by actively recruiting African-Americans into the medical profession, and by helping to reduce health disparities and communities of color. Brenda Wilson, NPR News."
