		<title>Carnival of the Liberals &#8212; February 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[DID the American Dream ever exist?  We are subjects to a bloodthirsty and heedless security state that seems to become more and more paranoid each day.

		<title>GG100211: No Reasonable Expectation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Feds push for tracking cell phones  &#8212;  &#8230;the Obama administration has argued that warrantless tracking is permitted because Americans enjoy no &#8220;reasonable expectation of privacy&#8221; in their&#8211;or at least their cell phones&#8217;&#8211;whereabouts. U.S. Department of Justice lawyers say that &#8220;a customer&#8217;s Fourth Amendment rights are not violated when the phone company reveals to [...]]]></description>
