Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.

8 thoughts on “Whose knife was that in Greg Craig’s back?”
Wrong link? Or wrong body.
Fixed. Thanks.
It seems hysterical to me. "The Assassination of Greg Craig"? Good grief. Craig wasn't "assassinated." He was fired.
Yes, but it wasn't a clean kill. He was pecked to death first, by the people he worked with. That's not nice.
There IS only one knife in a Presidential administration. Anybody else waving a knife about has been given it by that one guy.
That's the real meaning of the unitary executive principle: EVERYTHING an administration does is, ultimately, the President's fault.
I hate to agree with Brett, but when a senior advisor to the president is f*cked like that, either the president avenges him (i.e., fires the people who did it), or condones it.
Good riddence. Craig was a typical corporate whore flitting from government work to corporate work and back again. Of course because Obama is one himself, another corporate lawyer will no doubt replace him.
Such people never, ever, cross their corporate paymasters, who encourage stints in the government, and reward their repeated betrayals of the public interest with salary bumps as soon as they return home.
Let's recite some of Craig's immediate former employer's (Williams & Connolly) clients:
Enron
HealthSouth
WorldCom
Fannie Mae
Adelphia
Waste Management
"Represented CSX Transportation, Inc. in the settlement and class action fairness hearing in a Louisiana class action involving a tank car leak of hazardous materials and resulting fire near New Orleans; the alleged class members numbered approximately 10,000."
"Represented American Cyanamid in a putative class action brought by plaintiff farmers alleging breach of warranty and product defect claims against defendant insecticide manufacturer."
"Successfully defended General Electric in multidistrict litigation alleging exposure to PCBs at Paoli railroad yard."
Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.
