Hearings Sought On Poindexter's TIA
from the responding-to-the-outcries dept
There's been an almost universal negative response to all the reports about John Poindexter's Total Information Awareness agency, so it's not a huge surprise that some folks in Congress decided to ride the publicity wave and call for hearings on the topic. They're asking that no further movement be made on the spying agency until they've had their say.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Re: Poindexter is a crook
The alternative is that this administration has knowingly hired a loose cannon criminal.
So the question is: Bush/Cheney evil or stupid?
