Delivering a well-prepared response on ABC's Good Morning America program to a loaded question about what she would do in the event of Iranian nuclear attack on Israel, Clinton warned , "In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them. That's a terrible thing to say but those people who run Iran need to understand that because that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish and tragic." read full story / add a comment

Such a broad power would include activists charged with public order offences (obstruction, refusing to move on, placarding), permitting access to the time, number and duration of phone calls and lists of websites visited and IP addresses of data packets sent. read full story / add a comment
