Israel's use of informants has prevented numerous suicide bombings. Yet in addition to enhancing Israeli security, collaboration has also developed a culture of suspicion such that anyone who runs a successful business or has access to hard-to-get permits is often suspected. >>>> Also if some "Hot Shots" don't get paid, all they have to do is to accuse fellow in collaborating..and he is as good as gone..

Blair warned he will lose his job if people vote against euro Sun May 26, 9:40 AM ET LONDON - Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) was warned Sunday that if the public voted against Britain joining the single European currency in a referendum he would lose his job. A strong endorsement for the euro from Blair last week sparked speculation that he will call a referendum next year on whether Britain should adopt the euro. But Lord David Owen, a former Labor Party Foreign Secretary who is opposed to Britain joining the European monetary union, said Blair would be "destroyed" and last only another six to nine months in his job if the public voted against the proposal. "You cannot go to the country on a major issue as prime minister and be defeated and then expect to carry on in the same way — that is the risk of a referendum," Owen told GMTV's Sunday program. "It really does destroy the personal authority of a Prime Minister if they lose." Owen, now an independent lawmaker in the House of Lords, said Chancellor Gordon Brown would be the likely candidate to take over. British news reports Thursday quoted an unidentified senior government minister as saying a Euro Referendum Bill would be introduced during the next session of Parliament this autumn. But Blair's official spokesman denied the report, saying the government had made no such plan. He said it stood by its position that a referendum would only be held once five self-imposed economic tests for entering the single currency had been met. Blair was urged Saturday by former Conservative deputy prime minister Lord Heseltine to seize the initiative on the euro by leading a campaign pushing for British entry. In a keynote speech to the European Movement annual conference in Birmingham, central England, the Tory peer said the pro-single currency lobby was waiting for strong political leadership. A leading pro-European in the Tory party, Heseltine said opposition to the euro was "softening." On Friday European Commission (news - web sites) President Romano Prodi warned Britain it risked political isolation if it turned its back on the euro. story.news.yahoo.com
