He was called that by General Tommy Franks. Feith, former Assistant Defense Secty under Rumsfeld, was head of the "alternate intelligence organization" in the Pentagon which teed up the phony "intel" used to justify the Iraq adventure.

I'm convinced he the man, but maybe y'all have other candidates for the title?

What about making the maximum age 65 in good health and not giving waivers just because you are an elected official? If your number comes up, you serve and the Governor of your state replaces you with someone else, even if you are a sitting U.S. Congressman or Senator. If you're the President, you are replaced by the next person in the line of succession. Reckon that would get them thinking real hard in Washington the next time that they want to get this country involved in an armed conflict (war)?

My best friend just started Army Basic Training at Fort Knox 6 weeks ago, and he just got home for the holidays. My question is what has helped some of you guys get through Basic Training? He came home a complete wreck, some of the stories that he told me were absolutely horrific..stories of guys getting beat till they cried themselves to sleep, men only be given food after digging their plate out of trash cans, being forced to a shooting test on no sleep out in the freezing rain (1 guy got hypothermia). They guys have no phone use, and he said that the only privilege they have is they get to eat in a dining hall once a week, the rest is field chow. He said they're fed like birds. He's dropped 15 pounds since he left (and he's a very lean guy to start with and is very weak. When he got home, he was running on 2 days no sleep, because the guys had to clean all night before they came home. He is absolutely terrified of going back. Does anyone have advice to help him get through Basic?

I was in a car accident and taken to the hospital.I never received any tickets.The police drove me home hours after I was released from the hospital because I had no way to get home.Five days later a police officer is calling my home telling me to come into the police station to pick up some tickets or a warrant will be issued for my arrest.Isn't that against some kind of law or harrassment?

NOT DIRECTLY.. it was wrote on a piece of paper & this person found it & said, "i'm calling the cops, i hope you get arrested." So, could it happen? I'm thinking not but, I'm just curious.

bush even said Osama is no longer a priority and that he doesn't think much about him.
According to this link
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071221/ts_nm/usa_qaeda_gates_dc

Al Queada is still around and behaving badly. The US military is over extended and not in the US to protect it should anything happen there.
Not to mention Terror attacks in America were hardly a common occurrence before 9/11 so to say that the Iraq occupation has made America safer is nothing short of blatant propaganda used to sell the war.
Fact is the rest of the world has had to deal with it much longer than America has.
it finally came to America and expectedly too due to their brutal foreign policy. Propping up dictatorial regimes and the like.
So tell me how America is safer.

So I moved into a duplex last month. Our duplex faces another set owned by the same lady. The people across from us and the people next to us are all college students. We all get along just fine, and we all have speculations about the neighbor kitty corner to me.
She is around her mid 40's maybe. She doesn't work. She has a steady supply of odd people come to her house and stay for 10-15 minutes then leave, and based on the physical condition of the people we think she sells meth or coke. She come over at random times and asks us to drive her 60 miles to one of the bigger cities in my state. We never do. The people who come over are usually intoxicated or look wired and have a tendency to block the bottom of the drive way we all share.
On the flip side she has two small children. It could be that she is just weird and the rest of us are too creative. I don't want to call the police if this isn't true. Especially if it could involve her children being brought into it. Any ideas?

My Mother has dementia and may possibly need to move in with me because I am concerned for her safety at times. If, down the road, I can no longer take care of her and need to place her in a nursing home, how can I keep the state from getting her assets if she needs to go on Medicaid to help offset some of the nursing home charges?

I am hoping someone can help me with this question, first off yes it is homework and the only reason I am asking for help is because I have drawn a blank. My textbook is no help I went over the last five chapters and even skipped ahead and I found nothing that could help me.
Here is the assignment

What conflicts do you see between the formal law enforcement code of ethics and the police subculture or “Cop Code”?

What ethical problems might these conflicts create?

How are these two different ethical codes tied to public perceptions of the role of law enforcement?

I live in a small town so we don't really ever hear about cop code ethics or misconduct.

Any help you can offer would be great. I am not asking anyone to do the work for me; I am just asking to be pointed in the right direction.

Thank you all so much. My paper is due today and all 3 of my babies are sick making it even harder to focus and find the track I need to be on.

Again thanks for your help

Every other drug is out of your system in days. It doesn't catch alcoholics so the whole drug testing industry is based on busting pot smokers who are not dangerous, show if anything an extra attention to detail and creativity attributes you would think a company would want. I agree heavy machinery, doctors, bus drivers should be tested but what if you are applying for a job in customer service, housekeeping or cook. Studies have proven that those work places that test are no safer statistically than those that don't so why do we continue this insanity.
