The Latest Blawg Review...
November 29, 2005
... is up at Phosita, an excellent business-law blog. There are a few posts of interest to C&F readers, including this one:
The Rule of Law and Secrecy: CIA Prisons and the Plame Affair - Jerry Monaco comments on one of The Washington Post's articles on the CIA secret prisons. According to Jerry, the story proves that for the ruling class of the U.S. "the rule of law" and "due process" is applied selectively.
And this one:
F/K/A - David Giacalone never ceases to amaze me with the stories he finds, and this is a gem. "During a traffic stop on various violations, [the motorist] told an officer that there was a gun on the back seat of his vehicle, but it didn't work and he was repairing it for a friend. Tests showed that the gun was inoperable, and thus could not be the basis for a charge of criminal possession of a weapon. However, the innovative Assistant Schenectady County District Attorney, Martin Burke, decided to seek an indictment based on [the motorist's] intent to repair the weapon and thus make it operable."
