LINKS: Nukes on the loose? FISA not good enough? Bullet-belts are now illegal?

I am not a Lou Dobbs fan, but he is spot-on in what he had to say about the ridiculous immigration rallies. Cops were assholes at these protests, but none were as bad as Officer Kody Nesbitt, who tasered the wrong guy, hospitalized him, then asked the nurse to “inflict pain”. The idiot left his chest microphone on and incriminated himself. Go technlogy!
Other causes for concern: Bush wants even more spying. Al Queda could have 3 suitcase nukes. RIAA kills Pandora for non-U.S. users.
And of course, Today’s Virginia Tech Massacre backlash: student arrested for wearing bullet belt. Read on for more (and pictures).

• TERROR: Putin not able to track all nukes – Al Queda could have 3 suitcase nukes. It’s possible.

  Ugh. A serious cause for concern, or warmongering propaganda strategically released to rouse support for an Iran war and a fascist domestic political platform? You decide.

• PRIVACY: Administration pushes to expand domestic surveillance

  Michael McConnell says the FISA courts (established in the 1970s; allow wiretaps to be approved up to 72 hours after they happen) need to go away and spying on Americans needs to be EVEN EASIER than it already is.I guess 72 hrs later isn’t good enough!!
