By Jon Herskovitz STEPHENVILLE, Texas (Reuters) – Lawyers for an Iraqi War veteran plan to argue at the start of his trial on Wednesday that he was insane when he fatally shot former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, whose best-selling autobiography was turned into the hit movie "American Sniper." Former Marine Eddie Ray Routh, 27, is charged with murdering Kyle, who was credited with the most kills of any U.S. sniper, and his friend Chad Littlefield in 2013 at a shooting range about 70 miles (110 km) southwest of Fort Worth. Legal experts have said it is a tough task to obtain a verdict of innocence by reason of insanity in Texas. Routh's lawyers tried unsuccessfully to have the trial delayed, saying that having "American Sniper" in theaters nationwide and basking in the award season's glare makes it difficult for Routh to get a fair hearing. Kyle has been lionized in his home state of Texas, where he is buried at the Texas State Cemetery alongside some of the state's acclaimed figures.

By Jon Herskovitz STEPHENVILLE, Texas (Reuters) – The timing, location and emotions came together at a Texas movie theater where 40 people watched the late showing of “American Sniper” just down the road from where a former Marine will stand trial for murdering the man whose story unfolded on the screen. On Tuesday night, the crowd saw some of the final scenes in the life of Chris Kyle, the former Navy SEAL whose best-selling autobiography was turned into the film that has been nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture. It is all so close, in so many ways,” said Jenhifer Pratt, a 21-year-old student at Tarleton State University, who saw the movie with two of her friends. Kyle, a ranch hand who turned soldier, was a familiar type of figure in Stephenville.

By Patricia Zengerle WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama sent Congress his text on Wednesday for an authorization to use military force in the campaign against Islamic State, limiting operations against the militants to three years and barring use of U.S. troops in "enduring offensive ground combat." According to the text, Obama also wants to repeal the 2002 measure that authorized the Iraq war. Obama said he remained committed to working with Congress to "refine, and ultimately repeal" the 2001 AUMF. He said enacting a measure specific to the campaign against Islamic State fighters could serve as a model for revamping the 2001 measure.
