US Set to Use Spy Satellites on US Citizens
duerra writes "A plan to use U.S. spy satellites for domestic security and law-enforcement missions is moving forward after being delayed for months because of privacy and civil liberties concerns. The plan is in the final stage of completion, according to a department official who requested anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly about it. While some internal agencies have had access to spy satellite imagery for purposes such as assisting after a natural disaster, this would be the first time law-enforcement would be able to obtain a warrant and request access to satellite imagery."

how is a 2.9% rise in spending a cut? funny i heard some senator whining about the "draconian cuts in Medicare"... instead of increasing the budget by 7.5% it is going up 5% per year. my math says those are increases. if he reduced spending by 2.9%, then, in my mind, that is a "cut". and people wonder why we are going broke.
