	Intelligence and Security Committee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is a unique committee, as it is not a committee of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
		It has been argued that the ISC should be a select committee of Parliament, but in practice it has greater powers than a select committee: in its inquiry into the Vasili Mitrokhin affair it was able to obtain papers from former administrations and official advice to ministers, both of which are forbidden to select committees.
		This committee ceased to exist when Parliament was dissolved on 11 April 2005; the Prime Minister will appoint a new committee after the UK general election on 5 May 2005.

		The RCMP Security Service should be disbanded, McDonald concluded, and a new separate, civilian organization put in its place to ensure that security intelligence activities were effective, and at the same time carried out in accordance with the rule of law and accountable to government.
		It is useful to recall that the legislation governing security intelligence in Canada emerged at the height of the Cold War and the depths of the 1980s recession.
		Security intelligence activities are on the increase in other parts of the government, in large measure because of the evolving nature of international threats to Canadians.

		Blair has denied his office doctored the intelligence dossier to exaggerate the threat posed by Iraq's weapons, which he says existed and will eventually be found by coalition forces.
