The debate last night was between the Democratic candidates, and it was basically an attack on Hilary Clinton. Barack Obama and John Edwards ganged up on the senator and questioned her plan or platform. Hilary, already trying to make up for the last debate, was on her heels trying to deflect the intense questions being thrown her way. I think Hilary held her composure very well while she was being attacked. Sure, the other two candidates really tried to crack her, but really she has, for the most part, kept it together. Therefore, i would name her the winner of the debate, because of the challenge she was faced with.

(5) The CIA tends to have top-secret operations to investigate suspicious behavior of people related to the government. They inform no one outside the CIA about any of the operations because they are not necessarily legal. In Fairfax, Virginia the CIA broke into one of their employee's residence because they suspected she was involved with a Cuban national. They believed he was aware of some illegal business and they unsuccessfully tried to catch him in the act. The CIA doesnt really care or abide by a citizen's right to privacy. Also, everyone is a threat to them, they trust no one, even their own.
