Thursday, February 14, 2008

Tonight, Pentagon officials say the military is planning to
shoot down a broken spy satellite expected to fall to the
Earth’s surface early next month.

Meanwhile on Capitol Hill, Republican lawmakers walk out over
Democrats’ intransigence on a spy bill provision. Should
telecom companies get immunity for enabling warrantless
government wiretapping of U.S. citizens? We’ll have those
stories and all the day’s news.

Utah is weighing a reversal of its policy of granting drivers’
licenses to illegal aliens. The bill has already passed one
side of the Utah legislature. In Oregon, the legislature is

on the drivers’ license battles.

coffers and the expensive defense contracts Murtha doles out.
We’ll have a special report on the Best Government Money Can
Buy.

In California, League of United Latin American Citizens has
adopted a resolution to declare "California Del Norte" a

... disputes concerning immigration laws and their
enforcement." We’ll have the story.

And China and Russia are increasingly as they did in the days
of the Cold War. In recent months, we’ve seen numerous
espionage cases involving communist China. Meanwhile, Russian
President Vladimir Putin continues to threaten the Ukraine and
talk tough to the U.S. over issues like NATO’s presence in
Europe. That report, tonight.
