Via the Associated Press, the Department of Homeland Security is set to use US space based imaging systems to spy on it's own citizens. According to the article, plans were delayed however because:
"Last fall, senior Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee asked the department to put the program on hold until there was a clear legal framework of how the program would operate".
Where are the Republicans on this? Oh wait...it's the big government agency that they created that will do the domestic spying, so it's OK.

Last I checked, the DHS and the rest of the associated laughably-misnamed PATRIOT garbage was a pretty enthusiastically bipartisan affair...
At least 'til election time, when Dems can step aside and point j'accuseatory fingers at those mean, nasty neocons!
