Talk:Tenet v. Doe

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Two quick questions. One, the article says that 'Doe' was Russian but the Supreme Court oral argument and opinion are very careful to avoid listing any country of origin calling him only a Cold War spy. Is there a reliable source that states Russia to be his country of origin? Two, the article says that the CIA provided no avenue for an appeal of their decision, whereas the Court's opinion discusses two appeals (both denied) that the Doe's found wanting. Am I misunderstanding either the article or the opinion? Eluchil404 10:10, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The nature of the benefits had, and subsequently lost

[edit]

How much did the guy get, while he was being resettled?

Was he getting a monthly stipend, until such a time that he found employment?

Was the discontinuation of benefits gradual, or sort of sudden?

What was the extent of his loss, if anything?

This whole thing sounds a lot like a pig in a poke. The spy was getting something for nothing. How long could he possibly expect to get it, especially after the benefits of his new job were so great as to outweigh the CIA benefits that were trickling in.
