Hallo,
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A40942-2002Nov11.html
U.S. Hopes to Check Computers Globally
System Would Be Used to Hunt Terrorists
Former senator Gary Hart (D-Colo.), a member of the U.S. Commission on
National Security/21st Century, said there's no question about the need
to use data more effectively. But he criticized the scope of
Poindexter's program, saying it is "total overkill of intelligence" and
a potentially "huge waste of money."
"There's an Orwellian concept if I've ever heard one," Hart said when
told about the program.
Ciao
Kai
