Pentagon creates a Big Brother so Uncle Sam can keep his eye on us [Sunday November 17, 2002] - from the Observer (UK)
In a development which has provoked outrage across America's political spectrum, the IAO has begun work on a global computer surveillance network which will allow unfettered access to personal details currently held in government and commercial databases around the world.
Contracts worth millions of dollars have been awarded to companies to develop technology which will enable the Pentagon to store billions of pieces of electronic personal information - from records of internet use to travel documentation, lending library records and bank transactions - and then access this information without a search warrant. The system would also use video technology to identify people at a distance.
