the role of government



from SLATE: >The [Wall Street J0URINAL] notes that it's looking
increasingly likely that contractors were involved in water-boarding
terrorist suspects. Although Hayden insisted that contractors must
follow the same rules as CIA operatives, some doubt they can be held
to the same standards or are as accountable. Also, some lawmakers are
questioning whether using contractors for interrogations is even legal
since, according to policy, "inherently governmental activities" must
be performed by government employees.<
