Re: [FYI] Pentagon Plans a Computer System That Would Peek at Personal Data



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
