To those who [want to know] how the International Liason Program is funded, just google "NYPD International Liason Program. I did that. Here is the result: The New York City Police Foundation, through contributions from its business, individual and philanthropic partners provides essential travel, lodging, and office expenses that fall outside the city�s budgetary lines. According to Wikipedia: The New York City Police Foundation was established in 1971 by business and civic leaders as an independent, non-profit organization to strengthen the services of the New York City Police Department and to improve public safety in New York City . How using the money to send police officers well outside of the NYPD's jurisdiction is supposed to improve public safety in New York, I don't know, especially when you consider the fact that how American local governments often respond to threats makes citizens feel less safe rather than more so.

Not all uses of copyrighted material require permission. Well, they should. Why do you think we protect our movies and music with Digital Rights Management so you can't even play them without our permission? And the fact you have to repurchase the tracks if Microsoft's hardware goes bye-bye is just a sweet side effect that means we... I mean, the artists get properly compensated. *at this point, Father Merrin successfully exorcises the MAFIAA from Sheogorath, albeit only after he projectile vomits bile all over the priest*

In any jurisdiction I know, you can't get punished for discussing anything. Actually, you can. If Hussain had written these details into a document that only he and the police saw, or if he'd written them as a plotline in a book, then no crime has been committed. However, because the guy discussed his idea with others as if to one day carry it out, that became conspiracy to commit a terrorist act, which is an arrestable offence in the UK.
But, but... destroying the Internet is for the children! Especially if we start by filing takedown requests for the legitimate websites of MAFIAA members. };D
I am saying the following as a statement of fact: It has been alleged that Homewood attorney, Rob Riley, the son of former GOP governor, Bob Riley (2002-2010), had an affair with Liberty Duke, a lobbyist based in Clanton, Alabama. When Ms. Duke became pregnant, Republican insiders paid her to have an abortion and stay quiet on the subject, as the blog, Legal Schnauzer, claims it was told by multiple sources. Total payments were allegedly in the $250,000 to $300,000 range.

Proprietary Company makes drug A, B, & C, then when the patent expires, they reformulate it to add D. Generic Company makes drug A, B, & C, then gets sued out of existence by Proprietary Company because the new patent covers A, B, & C. This often leads to more affordable versions of drugs never making it to market because the other generic companies quite rightly and unfairly get shit scared to produce something the law says is legal to manufacture. Simples!
They've always been the willing catamites of governments. Even Google has a different definition of 'evil' than most people do just so it can duck out of its responsibility to live up to its unofficial motto.
I also believe that details of the public should be kept private until the case is decided in finality. Too often somebody is accused of something heinous, and because their details are splashed all over the papers in connection with their alleged offence, their names aren't cleared in the minds of the public after the court has found them not guilty, and their careers are forever wrecked. Take Matthew Kelly, for example. He had a lot of TV work before he was arrested in 2003 as part of Operation Arundel, and now you very rarely see him on the screen.
