Data-Mining - not just for counterterrorism. “The IDW objective was to create a data warehouse that uses certain data elements to provide a single-access repository for information related to issues beyond counterterrorism to include counterintelligence, criminal and cyber investigations,” stated a formerly secret fiscal year 2008 budget request document. “These missions will be refined and expanded as these capabilities are folded into the NSAC.”
They're going to collect everything they can and use it to investigate everything they can. |

A.O. Scott: "The Lives of Others" illuminates ... the moral no man's land where base impulses and high principles converge.
Anthony Lane: You might think that "The Lives of Others" is aimed solely at modern Germans. A movie this strong, however, is never parochial, nor is it period drama. Es ist fuer uns. It's for us.
Whit Diffie and Susan Landau: The end of the rainbow would be the ability to store all traffic, then decide later which messages were worthy of further study.
From the land of Oz: "I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do! I do! I do! I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do! I do! I do! I do!" "We must be over the rainbow!"
From the archive, an NYT selection: Tall and blond, he had an easy laugh, played on the lacrosse team and liked to dance. Then, for reasons that seem to have something to do with making a lot of money, he made the unusual decision to go to work as a minion of Lucifer. I wonder whether there is some well-organized human being in the government or private sector who could create an organization that would go into schools on a continuing basis and teach people how careers are made. At the end you want to be able to say, 'Wow, that was a mixed bag of tricks -- but what a bag.'"
