Military Expands Intelligence Role in U.S.
By [2]ERIC LICHTBLAU and [3]MARK MAZZETTI
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 The Pentagon has been using a little-known power
to obtain banking and credit records of hundreds of Americans and
others suspected of terrorism or espionage inside the United States,
part of an aggressive expansion by the military into domestic
intelligence gathering.
The [4]C.I.A. has also been issuing what are known as national
security letters to gain access to financial records from American
companies, though it has done so only rarely, intelligence officials
say.
Banks, credit card companies and other financial institutions
receiving the letters usually have turned over documents voluntarily,
allowing investigators to examine the financial assets and
transactions of American military personnel and civilians, officials
say.
