The post 9/11 reaction to the threat of armed Islamicist extremism by the US government was as visceral as it was knee-jerk, with a blanket call put out to increase [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I generally agree with r0b&#8217;s reasoning on the police need &#8212; or lack &#8212; for firearms. This is a mostly-empty moral panic.
But how things have changed for Greg O&#8217;Connor of the Police Association. This from 1 June 2009:

		<description><![CDATA[The Australian and many other sources report that Austereo has suspended 2Day FM hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O and their show indefinitely for their revictimisation of a 14 year-old rape victim on-air last week. Advertisers are boycotting the network and Sandilands&#8217; other contracts are in jeopardy. A firm response.

Austereo&#8217;s Kyle and Jackie O Show sparked the controversy this morning when the 14-year-old girl revealed on air that she had been raped.
