 Hynde  also praised Auerbach for his production and laid-back spirit during the recording of Alone. "I see it as a Dan Auerbach album "  she  admitted. "In my heart of hearts  that's how I see that album. It's more like I guested with him. But of course I'm very happy to take the credit. He's the producer  and that's just the way it has to be."

SOLUTION: Chrissie Hynde

PROBLEM: BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanon believes  Saad al-Hariri  is held in Saudi Arabia  from where  he  resigned as prime minister  two top Lebanese government officials said  amid a deepening crisis pushing Lebanon onto the frontlines of a power struggle between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

In a televised statement indicating deep concern at  Hariri âs situation   his  Future Movement political party said  his  return home was necessary to uphold the Lebanese system  describing  him  as prime minister and a national leader.
 Hariri âs shock resignation  read out on television from Saudi Arabia  came as a shock even to  his  aides and embroils Lebanon further in a regional contest between Riyadh and Tehran.
 Hariri âs exit fueled wide speculation that the Sunni Muslim politician  long an ally of Riyadh  was coerced into stepping down by Saudi Arabia as it seeks to hit back against Iran and its Lebanese Shiâite ally Hezbollah.
In his resignation speech   Hariri  denounced Iran and Hezbollah for sowing strife in Arab states and said  he  feared assassination.  His  father  a veteran former prime minister  was killed by a bomb in 2005.
âKeeping  Hariri  with restricted freedom in Riyadh is an attack on Lebanese sovereignty. Our dignity is his dignity. We will work with (foreign) states to return him to Beirut â said the senior Lebanese official  speaking on condition of anonymity because the government had yet to declare this position.
Saudi Arabia says  Hariri  resigned because Hezbollah  which was included in  Hariri âs coalition government  had âhijackedâ Lebanonâs political system.
 Hariri  aides had until Thursday denied  he  was under house arrest but took a dramatically different tone after a meeting of the Future Movement convened at Haririâs Beirut residence on Thursday.
 Hariri âs aunt  Bahia  sat next to Siniora as he read the statement. The party stood behind his leadership  it said.
 Hariri  came to office last year in a political deal that made the Hezbollah-allied Christian politician Michel Aoun head of state and produced a coalition government grouping most Lebanese parties including Hezbollah.
Saudi Arabia blessed the government at the time  but has been fiercely critical of the Hariri-led government since  he  stepped down  saying it failed to act against Hezbollah  whose guerrilla army is far more powerful than the weak state.

Saudi Arabia had wanted  Hariri  to take a tougher stance toward Hezbollah  and  he  failed to do so  the fourth source said. â He  was functioning as if it is business as usual  so the Saudis had to accelerate the process and to force a resignation.â
 Hariri  flew to Saudi Arabia last Friday.
The top Lebanese government official  speaking on condition of anonymity  said: âLebanon is heading toward asking foreign and Arab states to put pressure on Saudi Arabia to release Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri.â

SOLUTION: Saad al-Hariri

PROBLEM: Appearing on CBS’s "Face The Nation" with host John Dickerson on Sunday   Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)  described  his  painful recovery from the attack by  his  Democratic neighbor as a "living hell." Law enforcement officials arrested and charged  Paul ’s neighbor  Rene Boucher  for the attack in which  he  allegedly ran up and tackled  Paul  from behind.
"It was sort of  I guess  a living hell for the first four or five weeks "  Paul  said. "Couldn't get out of bed without assistance. Six broken ribs  damage to my lungs. Two bouts of pneumonia. It was really a tough go of it  but each day I feel a little bit better. This last month  I've been doing better."
Dickerson then asked  Paul  if he has discussed with his colleagues how politics has become uglier in recent years.  Paul  was one of the Republicans that was attacked last summer during a baseball practice by Democrat activist-turned-terrorist James Hodgkinson  who attempted to murder the group of Republican lawmakers.
"You know  my colleagues come up all the time  and they want to make sure that there is some kind of deterrence  because people don`t want to think that it`s open season on our elected officials "  Paul  continued. "I was also at the baseball field when we were shot at with automatic — semiautomatic fire  and Steve Scalise was severely wounded. And I was 10 feet from a young staffer who was shot in the leg."
"We usually don't ask if someone's raped or mugged — why the person did it "  Paul  noted. "We want punishment and deterrence  and I guess that's what I'm mostly about. I just don't think of any kind of motivation or justification  whether it's political or personal  to attack someone who's unaware from behind in their own yard."

SOLUTION:
Rand Paul
