Conspiracy talk: The three men arrested earlier in Caro were apparently remanded to federal custody today. However, the terrorism charges they were initially held on didn’t hold up. They apparently are being charged with fraud and conspiracy, in connection with the van full of cell phones.
Live free or die: Meanwhile, On Point’s first show today asked the question, “Should the FBI be structured more like MI-5?” I couldn’t stand listening to Richard Posner. As a federal judge (7th Circuit) and a guy who might someday write a legal opinion that affects me personally, it really bugged me that he’s so willing to give up everybody’s civil rights. Unfortunately, there were a few callers who were willing to do that too (provided that they didn’t get busted for not paying child support). Fortunately, they were outweighed by the number of callers expressing their strong opinion on keeping them.
Happy anniversary, Katrina: We're quickly approaching the one year mark since Hurricane Katrina devastated much of the South. Here we are wasting money on b.s. cases (see first story above), yet people in southern Louisiana and Mississippi are struggling to put their lives back together. Wasn't it Trent Lott who had the house in Pascagoola, MS, that was blown over? I'm sure at least he has a house again.
