The Pentagon Wants a 'TiVo' to Watch You

An anonymous reader writes "Danger Room, a Wired blog, today cites a study of future electronic snooping technologies from Reuters, written by the Pentagon's Defense Science Board. More than anything, it seems these outside advisers want a surveillance system that would put Big Brother to shame, and they're looking at the commercial sector to provide it. 'The ability to record terabyte and larger databases will provide an omnipresent knowledge of the present and the past that can be used to rewind battle space observations in TiVo-like fashion and to run recorded time backwards to help identify and locate even low-level enemy forces. For example, after a car bomb detonates, one would have the ability to play high-resolution data backward in time to follows the vehicle back to the source, and then use that knowledge to focus collection and gain additional information by organizing and searching through archived data.'"

    Oh, look. It's a Israeli terrorist sympathizer!

    Spying on US citizens is one option. But a much more effective and long term solution would be to:

    1. Arrest all members of AIPAC(the pro-Israeli terrorism lobby) and ship them off to Guantanamo
    2. Regime change in occupied Palestine and install a democratic government
    3. Destruction of the Israeli WMD and other terror weapons
    4. War crimes trials for those responsible for the decades long Israeli campaign of terror and ethnic cleansing

    You probably _are_ that ignorant, and you ARE anonymous. I don't know who you are. I don't even know your email address, much less name or address. If you're so proud of your opinions you're willing to identify yourself, go ahead. I want name, address, and phone number, otherwise you're just as cowardly as the poster you responded to.

    Controls the funding?

    What kind of black budget can you run on $12 Billion?

    Or the $3 TRILLION, that went "missing" earlier on Rumsfeld's watch?

    No. Nobody makes a "mistake" or has an "accident" in "misplacing" billions or trillions. This is being used against the American people by their supposed agencies, like a gun to the head.

    As for Congress - all the Senators are Caesar's horse.

    Why do so-called Palestinians have a right to a homeland? In all recorded history of the region, it is only the Jewish people that have had a self-governing state of any kind in that particular strip of land.
