I was thinking about the Inquisitorial Squad (obviously due to a lack 
of life) and I got to wondering how it came about.  

I don't recall any canon, so this is all speculation.  Any canon 
would be greatly appreciated. 

The I-Squad was made up entirely of Slyths.  From what we see, they 
are the nastier ones.  We know that DU knows LM at least well enough 
to have gotten a report about Snape from him.  

So to the questions:

Are all Slyths on the I-Squad?  I remember Draco saying they were 
hand-picked, (yeah, Draco, but so are noses.  Don't get puffed up 
about it) but I can't find the reference.  Drat, I hate that.

Who came up with the idea?  Was DU so desperate for control that she 
appointed them on her own to try to clamp down on everything 
possible?  Did she pick Draco and friends because she knew LM was a 
man of influence and she wanted to get in good with him?

Or was it Fudge or LM (or Fudge with prodding from LM) who suggested 
it and suggested that Draco would make a good member as he was from a 
fine family?

Just some wandering thoughts.  Let me know what you think, or if I 
missed anything that should make me smack my head and say "duh".

Ginger, who wonders (inspired by her typos) if there will be an 
inquisitorial squid.
