Watching the Detectives: Genentech keeps eyes on profit
http://watchingcops.blogspot.com/2006/06/genentech-keeps-eyes-on-profit.html
Keeping an eye on those with their eyes on us. Saturday, June 17, 2006. Genentech keeps eyes on profit. A major drugs company is using UK licencing rules to block the UK use of a drug that has cheaply saved the sight of thousands of patients around the world. The drug, Avastin, a colon cancer treatment, has proved effective in arresting wet macular degeneration, when injected in tiny quantities into the eyes of patients. But Genentech, the company holding the patent, doesn't want it used that way.

Watching the Detectives: Gov. buried bad news?
http://watchingcops.blogspot.com/2006/06/gov-buried-bad-news.html
Keeping an eye on those with their eyes on us. Wednesday, June 21, 2006. Gov buried bad news? The number of properties left empty, sometimes for years, when the UK faces a chronic shortage of affordable homes, is a scandal. But the government has been accused of "sneaking out" the anouncement. Of its Empty Dwelling Management Orders legislation under cover of the England V Trinidad and Tobago World Cup Group match. Under the new powers. This is a radical move towards social justice.

Watching the Detectives: Terror web
http://watchingcops.blogspot.com/2006/06/terror-web.html
Keeping an eye on those with their eyes on us. Tuesday, June 20, 2006. Tony Blair has rejected calls for an investigation into intelligence lapses surrounding the July 7 suicide bombings in London last year. According to a book written by US intelligence specialist, Ron Suskind, Mohammad Sidique Khan, who led the bombers, was banned from the US three years ago. British intelligence agencies judged that he constituted only a low-level risk. British agents trace 7/7 terror links to smalltown America.

Watching the Detectives: The Muslim brothers
http://watchingcops.blogspot.com/2006/06/muslim-brothers.html
Keeping an eye on those with their eyes on us. Tuesday, June 13, 2006. The red cross of St George flies on Lansdowne Road in Forest Gate and around the Emmanuel Church in the London borough of Newham, where an extraordinary media conference took place today. Mohammed Kahar, visibly taumatised, and uncomfortable in the constant flash camera flicker, told for the first time how he was awakened by the sound of his brother screaming. It’s ruined my life from that day, from the time they entered my house, sai...

Keeping an eye on those with their eyes on us. Tuesday, June 20, 2006. Lord Carlile of Berriew, the Government's anti-terror watchdog, was presented with a moral dilemma when he arrived at Heathrow from a trip to South Asia in March. He wanted to pay duty on gifts for his family but there were no customs officers on duty in the red channel. He told the Times:. I wonder what would have been the consequences for me, had I been in that position and did likewise? Posted by Don Galloway @ 10:55 AM.

Watching the Detectives: Brown stymies Trident debate
http://watchingcops.blogspot.com/2006/06/brown-stymies-trident-debate.html
Keeping an eye on those with their eyes on us. Thursday, June 22, 2006. Brown stymies Trident debate. Hours after Tony Blair dodged the issue at question time, promising a full debate in Parliament before any decision is made, Gordon Brown, whose position as PM in waiting is so far unchallenged, announced his commitment to Britain's retention of her independent nuclear capability. We may ask ourselves, however, where the line is drawn between "retention" and "proliferation". Labour at the crossroads.

Watching the Detectives: "Slippery Slope"
http://watchingcops.blogspot.com/2006/05/slippery-slope.html
Keeping an eye on those with their eyes on us. Friday, May 26, 2006. Let’s imagine a small town somewhere out in the weeds. Let’s call it Raggedy End , or Shimmering Stone , or Dodgy City , orI’ve got it let's call it Slippery Slope . Now let’s take it out of the world of imagination and into reality, into the big city, into the centre of our lives. It exists, a city within a city, a world within our world. Feeding disinformation to the media, interviewing witnesses with a hidden agenda, employing decept...

Watching the Detectives: Corruption and the "detectives"
http://watchingcops.blogspot.com/2006/05/corruption-and-detectives.html
Keeping an eye on those with their eyes on us. Monday, May 15, 2006. Corruption and the "detectives". Some people like analytical definitions; they want to know. What a thing is and what it isn't, in what partcular context it should be considered and "is this a lexical or a conceptual definition", before they comment on it. For me a corrupt action is any act that involves the use or abuse of authority - power - to further private or institutional advantage. So let's look at some lexical definitions.

http://watchingcops.blogspot.com/2006/05/mirza-tahir-hussain_27.html
Keeping an eye on those with their eyes on us. Saturday, May 27, 2006. It was nearly dusk when Mirza Hussain. He had arrived in Karachi the previous day and had stayed overnight there, setting off before noon to visit relatives. The 18 year old British-Pakistani was a long way from his home in Leeds. Where he had lived since migrating to England with his parents as a boy. He had been educated and brought up there and had trained in the British Territorial Army. He drove to the nearest police station.
