US to spy on own citizens
Nopes-this is not a crazy, doomsday blog. It’s a real live, this stuff was covered in the Washington Post type of blog detailing a domestic government spy program. In fact here is a quote:
Critics cited its potential to expand the role of military assets in domestic law enforcement, to turn new or as-yet-undeveloped technologies against Americans without adequate public debate, and to divert the existing civilian and scientific focus of some satellite work to security uses.
Hm, all very valid points. Chertoff however is still insisting it’ll be like a weather map. There is no way the US Government is investing millions in homeland satellites for information we already have access to on every local news station. In my opinion Chertoff might as well stand in front of congress and say “Trust me. I’m a virgin.”
