Politics & Government - 14 January 2007

Under its 1947 Charter, the CIA has NO domestic police powers.
From the New York Times today: John Radsan, an assistant general counsel at the C.I.A. from 2002 to 2004 and now a law professor at William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, said, “The C.I.A. is not supposed to have any law enforcement powers, or internal security functions, so if they’ve been issuing their own national security letters, they better be able to explain how they don’t cross the line.” I thought the FBI was supposed to do this.

Employment Trubunal. Help!?

My former employer decided to object the decision of the ET six months after the judgment has been issued. They never tried to object it before, did not attend the Case Management nor the Hearing. They never tried to get in touch with me even after the matter went to the County Court.
Then a formal warning was sent to them about the Winding UP of their company. They have recruited solicitors and those are going to contact the ET (or already have) in relation to the appeal of the ET Judgement. The solicitors did not set aside either. Missed the offcial 21 days.

They have missed all the opportunities and the 42 days after the judgment was issued.

I believe they cannot appeal as it is simply too late. Am I right?
Many thanks in advance.

Do you believe Iraq will be America's last imperialist war?

Iraq is ruining Bush's presidency, his legacy, his party's control of Congress, and their chances at the White House for the foreseeable future.

I can't imagine another President EVER wanting to pay that price for lying to the American people about why we went to war. And I can't imagine the American people ever supporting an unprovoked war of aggression against a non-threatening country.

So I believe Iraq will be our last imperialist war.

How is a Oregon's voter turnout law legal?

We have a law in Oregon that if a funds increase bill is put to a vote and a majority of the people voting on the bill don't turn out, then the bill is not passed. How is this legal? It is automatically casting a "no" vote for people that are too lazy or uninterested in taking the time to vote for themselves. I don't understand how something like this is legal or why no one has challenged it.
