"Pentagon Is Expected to Close Intelligence Unit"
".... Some civil liberties groups said they worried that the change might be cosmetic and that the Pentagon might be closing the office to farm out its operations to other agencies that receive less scrutiny....
That's what they ALWAYS DO, folks!!!
Pentagon officials said that the database that housed information about the war protesters was built to track terrorist threats against domestic military bases and that reports about war protesters were put into it by mistake.
Yeah, riiiiiight!
Mr. Clapper ordered an end to the database, called Talon, last year.
So where did you transfer it to, because these guys never throw out a thing!
The disclosure that the Pentagon was collecting information about citizens in the United States prompted memories of its activities decades ago, when the military used electronic surveillance to monitor civilians protesting the Vietnam War....
Newly declassified documents released on Tuesday shed more light on another activity coordinated by the Pentagon’s counterintelligence office, issuing letters to banks and credit agencies to obtain financial records in terrorism and espionage investigations.
The Pentagon has issued hundreds of so-called national security letters, which are noncompulsory, as a tool to examine the income of employees suspected of collaborating with a foreign spy service or international terrorist network....
Yup, the FBI spies on Americans, the N.S.A. spies on Americans, and now the Pentagon has there own program to spy on Americans.
Gee, with all the spying going on there should NEVER be another "terrorist event" in this country!
