FBI and MI5

An important difference between FBI and MI5 is that MI5 has no police or arrest powers; when required, they go to a police organization. There is a continuing debate on whether or not an organization, whose root culture is law enforcement, is a workable model for current domestic security. I can make arguments either way, but it's not a clear cut issue. Howard C. Berkowitz 19:43, 24 July 2008 (CDT)
