[Daily Post from Infoglide Software] Much Ado About Ahmadinejad. But What of the Other 3,100 Iranians in the US?

“Unless you’ve been living in a cave (a real cave, not the wired data center that Bin Laden apparently occupies), you’ve probably seen all the hoopla surrounding Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visit to the U.N. and his lecture at Columbia University. Instead of one Iranian who’s hard to miss, perhaps we should be more concerned about the 3,100 Iranians who’ve legally entered the U.S. in the last six years under the Diversity Visa Program (DV)….”

Little Falls Times: Campaign under way to combat insurance fraud

“Insurance fraud costs Americans at least $80 billion a year. If this illegal activity were a legitimate industry, its profits would exceed Toyota, IBM, Wal-Mart and Microsoft.

“As an employee of the loss prevention section, Bratcher said, Reynoso allegedly knew how to disable the electronic sensor that sets off an alarm when someone walks out the door with an unpaid item. ‘I don’t even think they were hiding it in some cases,’ Bratcher said. ‘When the guy who’s watching the (security) camera is the one who’s stealing it … The accomplice would come to the store in some cases while the security guy would … if need be, disable the security system. They would roll stuff right out the front door.’”

Wall Street Journal: Surveillance Showdown

“Would any sane country purposefully limit its ability to spy on enemy communications in time of war? That is the question Congress must answer as it takes up reform of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) this week. Privacy activists, civil libertarians and congressional Democrats argue that both foreign and domestic eavesdropping must be subject to judicial scrutiny and oversight, even if this means drastically reducing the amount of foreign intelligence information available to the government, without ever acknowledging the costs involved. It is time the American people had an open and honest debate on the relative importance of privacy.” (Subscription required.)
