Janet Jackson doesn't want Dr. Conrad Murray to continue practicing medicine -- because she doesn't want the man she holds "responsible" for her brother's death to strike again on "someone else."
In an interview with ABC's Robin Roberts, Janet also said she doesn't know if Murray was the only doctor hooking Michael up with drugs -- but added "the truth always prevails."

President Obama Convenes National Security Team
A day after soliciting the views of congressional leaders, President Obama is convening top national security officials Wednesday afternoon for a strategy session on Afghanistan and Pakistan amid escalating U.S. casualties in Afghanistan and signs of declining public support for the war there.
As he considers how to deal with a deteriorating situation in Afghanistan, Obama has begun reviewing a request for additional U.S. troops from the top U.S. and NATO commander in the country, officials said.
The closed-door meeting in the White House Situation Room comes eight years to the day after the United States began launching airstrikes against Taliban and al-Qaeda targets in Afghanistan in retaliation for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Aided by the airstrikes and small numbers of CIA and Special Forces advisers, U.S.-backed Afghan forces drove the Taliban from power, capturing Kabul on Nov. 13, 2001, and ending the radical Islamist movement's five-year rule. About two weeks later, U.S. ground forces began pouring in, beginning a buildup that now amounts to nearly 68,000 U.S. troops, plus about 37,000 from other NATO countries.

Produced in German, Spanish and English, the ad runs with the tagline 'Aids is a Mass Murderer' and is set to be shown on German television next week.British charities are at the forefront of the protest, with concerns that it could be Aids patients, not the disease itself, that become associated with the war criminals, reported BBC online.UK-based HIV charity, the Terrence Higgins Trust, says it is concerned the advert could be 'insensitive', by stigmatising people with the condition.
Basically, the campaign is designed to shake people up, to bring the topic of Aids back to centre stage, and to reverse the trend of unprotected sexual intercourse.

Why Akshay wanted to party with SRK?
When Akshay Kumar decided to throw his first party in Bollywood to celebrate the opening collections of his Kambakkht Ishq, he made it a point to invite Shah Rukh Khan even though the superstar was far away in San Francisco.
"Yes, I did call Shah Rukh Khan to invite him. When Kareena and I suddenly decided to have a party, we decided we'd invite the entire industry. This wasn't a party to celebrate our success alone. It was also a party to celebrate the success of New York as much as my own film. So, apart from me and Kareena, the party's unofficial hosts were Katrina (Kaif), John (Abraham) and the entire New York team," said Akshay.
Akshay has often accused members of the film industry of trying to sabotage his films but he still wanted everyone to come together for the success of two films following a slump."I want them to celebrate any success and not be happy when films fail. When New York was released, SMS messages against the film were sent out. The same thing is happening with my film. Why be negative? Specially when I've always been happy for all my colleagues' successes?" Akshay asked.
"So yes, I personally called up Shah Rukh and all my colleagues for the party. But he's shooting in San Francisco...There will be plenty more occasions, I'm sure," the actor said.
