Santorum: Concerns about "emotions" if women on front lines - CBS News

AppId is over the quota
By Lucy Madison Topics Campaign 2012 Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.

(Credit: AP Photo/Jeff Roberson) After the Pentagon announced Thursday its decision to allow women in the military to serve in critical roles closer to the front lines of combat, Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum expressed "concerns" about this prospect of women serving in combat roles - due to the "other types of emotions that are involved."

"I want to create every opportunity for women to be able to serve this country" Santorum said in an interview with CNN.

But, he said, "I do have concerns about women in front line combat. I think that could be a very compromising situation where - where people naturally, you know, may do things that may not be in the interests of the mission because of other types of emotions that are involved."

Santorum went on to say that while "probably, you know, it already happens, of course," due to the "camaraderie of men in combat."

But he said that if women were also serving on the front lines, "it would be even more unique."

"And I think that's probably not in the best interests of men, women or the mission."

In an interview with NBC's "Today" show on Friday, Santorum clarified the remarks, noting that he's not concerned with women being emotional -- but rather that their presence on the field could impact men's decisions in battle.

"When you have men and women together in combat, I think there's, men have emotions when you see a woman in harm's way. I think it's something that's natural. That's very much in our culture, to be protective," he said. "That was my concern. I think that's a concern with all of the militaries."

According to the new Pentagon guidelines, women can be permanently assigned to battalions in roles such as medics, radio operators, intelligence officers, or communications officers. In practice, women have already been serving in these roles in temporary positions, but the new rule formalizes this practice, effectively opening up about 14,000 jobs.

Still, women may not yet serve in combat roles on the front lines. The new rules maintain a ban on women serving in infantry roles, as well as in combat tank units and in special operations commando units.

3 dead, 2 critically injured after hostage standoff in Florida - CBS News

AppId is over the quota
By Crimesider Staff Topics Daily Blotter SWAT Teams swarmed the neighborhood Thursday night after a man took hostages into his mobile home.

(Credit: CBS Miami) (CBS/AP) DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. - Police say three people are dead and two critically injured after a hostage standoff at a Florida recreational vehicle park.

The standoff began at Highland Woods RV Park Thursday evening and ended early Friday. Two men and one 9-year-old boy are dead while ?a woman and a 7-year-old boy were badly hurt.

The Palm Beach Post reports that according to the Broward Sheriff's Office, the ordeal began around 6:30 p.m. when police received an emergency call about a shooting at the park.

Deputies arrived on the scene and saw man on the ground outside a recreational vehicle. Inside the RV, a man told police he was holding a woman hostage and would kill her if they approached. SWAT Teams and other emergency responders began to swarm the area.

Authorities were unable to persuade the man making threats to release the hostage and surrender. Eventually, SWAT paramedics were able to get to the body outside the RV but he was already dead. According to investigators, the man found outside the RV and the man holding hostages did not know each other.

Around 7:30 p.m., a woman emerged from the RV. She reportedly told detectives that the suspect's wife and two sons were inside with him.

For the next several hours, SWAT Team members tried to make contact with the suspect but were unsuccessful.

Finally, around 1:30 a.m. Friday, the BSO SWAT Team entered the RV. Inside, they found the suspect and a 9-year-old boy dead. The badly hurt woman and 7-year-old boy were taken to area hospitals and are now in critical condition. The nature of their injures remains unknown.

Police have not released the identities of any of the victims or the suspect. Law enforcement officials are still searching for a motive as to what spurred the incident.

The International Space Station has been killing it with time-lapse videos of the earth lately, and now NASA's Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth has responded to popular demand and put up ten more.

From 240 miles up, you can see a lot of amazing stuff. In the video above, for example, the aurora toward the end looks different from any you could observe on Earth, because you can see the chaotic patterns it makes across a whole continent. In the "Mexico to New Brunswick" video below, watch out for the tiny satellite that appears around the 36-second mark and makes its way across the top of the screen.

The Johnson Space Center notes that some of the videos (including "Mexico to New Brunswick" and "Aurora over Northern U.S. and Canada," but not "Moonset over the Atlantic Ocean") "were taken at the rate of one frame per second, therefore the slower speed of the video represents nearly the true speed of the International Space Station." So even though these videos are compiled shot-by-shot, you're still seeing the views in nearly real-time.
