Pistols only for the Police work, light and high speed rail work, single payer medical care can work.
Having also lived in suburbs of other large cities in the South, Midwest and on the West Coast, it's a very different world. Small towns are yet more different -- for all those things. Huge nation, one size won't fit all.
Even for Cops, METT-TC -- and training -- make a difference. :wry:
Pakistan’s ISI On Trial….In Chicago
A commentary by SWC member Zenpundit on his blog site:http://zenpundit.com/?p=3942
I don't suppose the Federal Prosecutor thought the trial would be in a vacuum, but the lack of coverage and an official stance is puzzling.
Chicago trial: lessons learnt?

The role of the informant remains murky and other parties confidence in how the USA managed him and what was gained is hardly secure.
Behind the latest Mumbai attacks: patience
An IISS expert was interviewed on the latest Mumbai attacks on BBC Radio 4 and the Q&A is here:http://www.iiss.org/whats-new/iiss-voices/?blogpost=213 *Broken link and IISS archive search failed*.
One wonders if the local group the Indian Mujahedeen decided it was time to re-appear, five years after their devasting attack on Mumbai trains, having been up-staged by the LeT attack?
My comment is contested by a RUSI analyst, partly as the Indian Mujahedeen are not an independent group due to their links to Let, ISI and others. A longer commentary, with an interesting graph on attacks in India, with Mumbai the focus:http://www.rusi.org/analysis/comment...4E1EAAC92F3AD/
