We should care because????
Fomenting revolution in a country run by a lunatic dictator, they ought to expect this. AP: "4 New York Times journalists missing in Libya"   A Guardian journalist was captured and released, but the Guardian has some Muslim friends and they've been verrrrry sympathetic to them.  It is interesting to note that the Libyan "protesters" are now referred to as "rebels" in most MSM newspapers.
UPDATE: The New York Times is hoping that their journalists are with the Libyan government.

Utah Governor signs immigration law
The law law requires police to check the immigration status of people stopped for felonies. (Reuters) The LDS Church sent the presiding bishop to the signing ceremony, much to the frothing indignation of the Salt Lake City Tribune writer.

Fact Check: Actually, the governor signed four immigration bills today, including three migrant/immigrant worker provision laws. The reporter, however, focused on the law enforcement aspect and the so-called  politicalization of the Mormon church while ignoring the fact that a representative of the Catholic Church was also attending.

The law provides that only after an officer has charged someone with another crime and their identification cannot be verified, can law enforcement officials check the immigration status of an individual.

More truthful was this found at the Seattle Times, a AP story summed it up.

Unlike Arizona, which passed a controversial law last year focused exclusively on enforcement, Utah has recognized the need for immigrant workers and their benefits to the economy.

Who didn't contribute sufficiently to the administration?
