SLYTH: DE's, Aurors, and Justice

Well, I'm voting for the "Evil-Doers and their Pursuers"/ "Government" division here; I 
don't think that the Cops-n-Robbers business should just be folded into the 
Executive branch or something, because I think that wouldn't really give Cops-n-
Robbers quite the independant heft that I think that it deserves. Though I think things 
are gonna get tricky if Lucius becomes the Minister of Magic in OoP, as I so 
desperately hope. I mean, what do we do if the DE's *become* the government? 

I do agree though, that the more purely logistical issues of WW governance, and the 
comparisons to real world governments, don't really belong in the same FAQ as the 
Bloody Ambushes. And the Avery discussion. And frankly, although I think they're 
*both* really interesting topics, I know which one sounds like more fun. ; )

But I think that "Cops-n-Robbers" is a little less. . . unwieldy than is "Evil-Doers and 
their Pursuers." Not to mention the fact that I've always thought that "evil-doers" is a 
kind of weird word. (Though not as weird as "homeland.") 

Not to mention the fact that everybody will become very political about it. "Hey, yeah, 
I guess Ashcroft *is* a war criminal! Just like Crouch! How appropriate!" And I think 
that that could get a bit awkward.

screwed up lately. She just got a new computer, and while she is very fond of it, it 
doesn't seem to handle posting very well in some ways.
