    Mainstream media needs to report this story

    I emailed the news department at the New York Times about the events described in this post and included a link to Greenwald's story. I really think a story like this deserves mainstream attention, but I fear that unauthorized police raids of private homes have become to commonplace for the media to pay much attention. Either that, or our esteemed forth estate has become to entwined with the rich and politically powerful to risk their own skin by reporting their abuses of constitutional law.
