removed from the FBI&#039;s National Crime Information Center database a little more than a year after she vanished.

Since then, our policies have changed. They&#039;ve been updated, and that would no longer happen. But since we could not contact a family member for verification and the results of her age, she was taken out of that database,&#034;said Ed Tomba, Cleveland&#039;s deputy chief of police.</p> <p>But, according to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517/http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2013/05/michelle_knight_held_captive_f.html">The Cleveland Plain Dealer</a>, the department&#039;s own policy at the time of Knight&#039;s disappearance stated that an officer must go and see that a missing person has been found, then inform the FBI within two hours for removal from the database.<br/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/10/cleveland-victim-was-removed-from-fbi-database/" class="more-link">FULL POST</a></p> </div> <div class="cnnPostFooter"> <table> <tr> <td> <div class="cnn_mugshot"> </div> </td> <td valign="top" class="cnn_padb20 cnn_author_info"> <span class="cnnBlogFiledBy">Posted by</span> <span class="cnn_author"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/tag/jake-tapper/" rel="tag">Jake Tapper</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/tag/sherisse-pham/" rel="tag">Sherisse Pham</a></span> <br/><span class="cnnBlogFiledBy cnn_categories">Filed under: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/category/national-lead/" title="View all posts in National Lead" rel="category tag">National Lead</a></span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> <div class="cnn_clear"></div> <div class="cnn-large-embed "></div></div><!-- IE7 background fix --> </div> <div class="cnn_post_separator"><div class="cnn_gap"></div><div class="cnn_gap cnn_gap_right"></div></div> <!-- /blog post 3431 --> <!-- blog post 3449 --> <div class="cnnPostWrap cnn_wh1600_post_separator"> <div class="cnnWideImage"> <div data-video-height="406" data-video-width="640" id="cnnCVP2" class="cnn_video cnn_video_large" data-video-class="cnn_video_large" data-video-url="world/2013/05/10/lead-rep-jim-jordan-benghazi.cnn" data-ssid="cnn.com_blogs_jaketapper" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517oe_/http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2013/05/10/lead-rep-jim-jordan-benghazi.cnn" data-context="640x406_stop_embed_onsite" data-image-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517im_/http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/120912043133-us-embassy-attack-11-horizontal-gallery.jpg" data-preset="blog_large" data-source="CNN" data-source-url="" data-video-headline="Rep.

Warren proposes deep discounts for federal student loans</a></h2> <div class="cnnBlogContentPost"> <p class="cnn_first">On average, student loan borrowers end up carrying debt loads of $27,000. The interest rate on federal student loans is set to double this summer if Congress does not do anything about it. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, has introduced her first piece of legislation - a bill that would give a steep, temporary discount, taking the interest rate from 3.4% to less than 1%. </p> <p>The U.S. government has been lending money at a rate of about 0.75% to financial institutions for years, said Warren. </p> <p>&#034;We have students out there borrowing money to get an education, working hard. My view is if the American taxpayer is going to invest in those big, financial institutions by giving them a great deal on their interest rate, let&#039;s invest in those students by giving them the same deal,&#034; said Warren. </p> <p>But critics say comparing the student loan rate to the federal reserve discount rate is not quite apples and apples. The federal rate involves virtually no risk because it is short-term. </p> <p>&#034;There is no risk in lending to the big financial institutions because they&#039;ve got too-big-to-fail backing them up,&#034; said Warren. &#034;That doesn&#039;t seem like the right approach to me.&#034;<br/> <a

class="cnn_first">As terrorists armed with AK-47&#039;s and grenades were raining fire on the compound in Benghazi with American citizens trapped inside, U.S. Special Forces were told to stand down. That is the account from diplomat <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517/http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/08/the-latest-on-benghazi-hearing/">Gregory Hicks, about the attack</a> that killed his friend and boss U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.</p> <p>Three State Department witnesses said they were frustrated and angry with the response to the siege during testimony in front of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday. The attack happened on then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton&#039;s watch. The man who replaced her, John Kerry, said Thursday he is ready to answer any questions.</p> <p>&#034;I am absolutely determined that this issue will be answered, will be put to bed. And if there is any culpability in any area that is appropriate to be handled in some way, with some discipline, it will be appropriately handled,&#034; Kerry said.<br/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/09/benghazi-congress-wants-answers-kerry-ready-to-give-them/" class="more-link">FULL POST</a></p> </div> <div class="cnnPostFooter"> <table> <tr> <td> <div class="cnn_mugshot"> </div> </td> <td valign="top" class="cnn_padb20 cnn_author_info"> <span class="cnnBlogFiledBy">Posted by</span> <span class="cnn_author"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/tag/dana-bash/" rel="tag">Dana Bash</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/tag/jake-tapper/" rel="tag">Jake Tapper</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/tag/sherisse-pham/" rel="tag">Sherisse Pham</a></span> <br/><span class="cnnBlogFiledBy cnn_categories">Filed under: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/category/world-lead/" title="View all posts in World Lead" rel="category tag">World Lead</a></span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> <div class="cnn_clear"></div> <div class="cnn-large-embed "></div></div><!-- IE7 background fix --> </div> <div class="cnn_post_separator"><div class="cnn_gap"></div><div class="cnn_gap cnn_gap_right"></div></div> <!-- /blog post 3382 --> <div class="cnnPostNavigation cnn_post_navigation cnn_post_navigation_home"> <span class="cnn_post_navigation_prev"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/tag/sherisse-pham/page/2/">&#171; older posts</a></span> <span class="cnn_post_navigation_next"></span> <div class="cnn_clear"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/3.0/1px.gif" alt=""/></div> </div> </div><!-- /cnnBlogContentArea --> </div> <div class="cnn_right_column"> <div id="cnnRightCol" class="cnn_right_col"> <div class="cnnRRBox"><div class="cnnRRBoxHeader"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130513030517im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/2.0/mosaic/base_skins/right_rail/grey_corner_TL.gif" width="4" height="4" alt=""></div><div class="cnnRRBoxContent"><div class="cnn_pksz_tp_hck"></div> <div id="sidebar" class="cnn_sidebar"> <div id="cnn_text-2" class="widget-1 cnn_widget_first cnn_widget cnn_widget_text"><h3 class="cnn_widget_title">About This Show</h3> <div class="textwidget"><p>The Lead with Jake Tapper will draw not only on Tapper’s deep knowledge of politics and national issues, but also seek to examine and advance stories across a wide range of topics that demonstrate his own curiosities and interests.
