In other creepy police news, we <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/07/disorderly-conduct-in-dc.html">received</a> a dispatch from DC, <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/07/police-state-watch-3.html">discovered</a> disturbing cases from Tennessee and Idaho, <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/07/the-security-state.html">caught wind of</a> a terrorist knitter, and <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/07/a-short-man-in-search-of-a-balcony.html">noticed</a> once again who the most dangerous president could be on civil liberties.</p>
<p>In Iran news, Trita Parsi <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/07/watchful-waiting.html">argued</a> against the US going ahead with negotiations. Larison <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/07/watchful-waiting-ctd-1.html">disagreed</a>. And Juan Cole <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/07/going-too-far.html">showed</a> how even the hardliners are getting fed up with the violence.</p>
