PMO still in 'plausible deniability' modeGeoffrey Stevens
November 28, 2013
Let's talk today about "plausible deniability." The term apparently originated in the 1960s and referred at that time to CIA "black" operations.
Police MisconductReuel S. Amdur
October 31, 2019
As the Roman poet Juvenal put it, Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who will watch the watchers themselves? We have the police to protect us, but we sometimes need protection from them as well. There have been a number of incidents in which people have been the victims. The most glaring and public of these get attention and sometimes appropriate action is taken.
