Jared Lee Loughner, 22, faces initial charges of attempted murder and murder of federal employees and the attempted assassination of a U.S. congresswoman prompted a wrenching debate Sunday about whether overheated political rhetoric was to blame. Gabrielle Giffords, a 40-year-old Democrat representing Arizona, remained in critical condition at University Medical Center in Tucson.
