| Pentagon Seeks Leeway to Approach Citizens |
| 2005-10-08 |
| WASHINGTON -- Attempting to loosen decades-old restrictions, the Pentagon is asking Congress to allow its intelligence agents to go undercover when they approach Americans who may have useful national-security information, rather than identifying themselves as intelligence operatives. The provision found in a wide-ranging intelligence bill would give the Defense Intelligence Agency new latitude to meet U.S. citizens without pulling out their DIA badges and later sending a formal notice of their rights under the landmark 1974 Privacy Act. |

| #7 Well, we both know the answer is dead Americans on American soil... so you're really saying, "How many?" - and I don't know. The truly disgusting aspect is that 3,000 wasn't enough - when 3 should've been 2 too many. |

| #5 Eventually, we will finally throw off the profiling and other moronic restrictions. This is for all the marbles, we should conduct our homeland defense with that firmly in mind. Amen to that .com, baby!! |

| #4 Whether anyone is deported or jailed, as a result of this, is entirely up to them. If they choose to aid the bad actors, then they deserve what they get - and probably much more, in fact. Eventually, we will finally throw off the profiling and other moronic restrictions. This is for all the marbles, we should conduct our homeland defense with that firmly in mind. |

| #3 He's concerned information gleaned may result in more Muslims being deported? For crying out loud, what does he expect? We should deport Onek along with them, so he can monitor the conditions in Pakistani jails. |

| #1 Rockefeller favors it? Wow. Better read it again. More eyes and ears can only help. It will be interesting to see who says and does what if it gets to a vote - and what crap the real wankers (Rangel, Kenedy, et al) try to attach to it en route. |
