Sites Holmquist trys, and often fails, to go no more than a couple of days without visiting (some of which Holmquist regularly swipes links from without attribution)
Thanks to Tom Tomorrow for the link although I think he overstates the case when he writes, "Taps for TIPS? Apparently so."
"The Justice Department is forging ahead with establishing a network of domestic tipsters -- despite being dealt what may be a deathly blow to the plan: House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, inserted last week a ban on the program in the bill to form a new Homeland Security Department," writes Karen Branch-Brioso of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in an article appearing yesterday.
Also, we don't know what the Senate will do and what compromises the House will be willing to make, although perhaps the incentive for inclusion of the program will not be great since public support for Operation TIPS is not great according to this story by Isaac Baker of Newsday. posted by micah holmquist at 7/23/2002 07:15:00 PM
