CROSS-CUTTING INTELLIGENCE ISSUES, AND MORE FROM CRS
A new report from the Congressional Research Service raises the possibility that polygraph testing of intelligence employees could be phased out in favor of “continuous evaluation” (CE), i.e. the automated monitoring of financial, criminal and other databases.
The notion was suggested in a CRS overview of selected intelligence policy issues, including budget management, the quality of analysis, big data, workforce diversity, global coverage, and transparency.

Now all a pedo/pervert has to do is dress up as a woman, claim his identity is really that of a woman, and then legally enter female restrooms to wack off or sexually attack women, and the law and rock-and-roll star Bruce Springsteen, among others, will still fully back his “right” to enter a woman's restroom.

How did $681 million end up being deposited in the personal bank account of Malaysia’s prime minister, Najib Razak, last year? Not in any corrupt way, officials insist.
Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister said on Thursday that an unspecified Saudi source had given a large sum of money as a “genuine donation” with no obligations attached.
