Well if you are talking about CSIS foreign collection officers, the reference is in the 5th or 6th paragraph

That is a good point you make. His policies seem to be based upon economics which  as you. Mr. thucydides, wisely pointed out due to our own resources and time. You also make an interesting point regarding Korea and Japan, yet I am sorry for the trouble but can you please specify on who the...

It seems according to the Globe and Mail that the officers in CSIS responsible for foreign intelligence collection are known as, foreign collection officers, http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/review-uncovers-csis-policy-violations/article1857901/ Here is the CSIS organization chart...

That is true, but it seems that with the meeting's our prime minister will be having with the Chinese Head of State. I believe he publicly acknowledged that he desired to do more business with China. So considering those facts, maybe, it could be possible to guess that China is the main country...

Seems the Washington Times consider that war with Iran is inevitable, http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/oct/4/the-coming-war-with-Iran/. Hopefully the supreme leader is not foolish enough to think that this would end favorable for him and the regime.

Interesting video, the journalist is in Syria and gets the opinions of Syrian citizens. Who knows if this video is bias or not.  Seems odd, since I had thought, that the Assad regime did not let in foreign media. The reporters seems to be transported by the Syrian government, it is ironic that...
