TIA: Terrorist Information Awareness
by stuart 22 May '03

22 May '03

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/21/international/worldspecial/21PRIV.html?tn… The Total Information Awareness Program has been dressed in drag, now it is the Terrorist Information Awareness Program. Best line: "Saying they are worried about Americans' privacy, Pentagon officials announced in a report today that they were changing the name of a projected system to mine databases for information to help catch terrorists to Terrorist Information Awareness from Total Information Awareness." They're worried about Americans' privacy, so they change the name? How thoughtful of them, I feel better already. -- stuart Anyone who tells you they want a utopia wants to put chains on the souls of your children. They want to deny history and strangle any unforeseen possibility. They should be resisted to the last breath. -Bruce Sterling-

You have repeatedly stated that you would kill people who committed far less serious offenses. What if protestors performed a sit-in or march on your property? You have threatened many times to kill trespassers in such situations. How can someone who threatens death for the most minor offenses claim to be shocked at a sentence of 25 years? Your violent rhetoric has destroyed whatever credibility you once had as a defender of rights.

Just wait until you see the government ads for Jesus...
by Tim Meehan 22 May '03

http://www.tompaine.com/feature2.cfm/ID/7867 Buying Initiatives A House committee is marking up a bill on May 22 that could strike at the heart of ballot initiatives nationwide, significantly undermining the efforts of drug policy reformers. A little-known segment of a bill reauthorizing the mission of the nation's anti-drug agency could give the drug czar authority to use taxpayer dollars to pay for media campaigns directly targeting state ballot measures. If the bill passes, and agency chief John Walters uses public funds to hammer initiatives the administration opposes, it would run counter to the whole purpose of ballot initiatives, establish a disturbing precedent for federal electioneering and hobble advocates pushing for saner alternatives to the War on Drugs.
