*** Iraq
If you haven't been reading Phillip Robertson's articles on Iraq in Salon, you should start. He seems to have the best access to the insurgents of any journalist in the country. Don't miss this must-read interview on his experiences inside of the Imam Ali shrine.

According to Salon's politics blog (which I highly recommend, by the way), three bank robberies took place yesterday in Davenport, Iowa when both presidential campaigns were in town. Guess the police were busy elsewhere.

* Big Brother
I'm recommending this long Salon piece by David Brin regarding surveilance, technology, and privacy issues even though I haven't read it yet. From past experience, I know that he's got a lot of interesting things to say on this subject.
