There has been some speculation in the blogosphere that the data miners were TOO good at their work, meaning that in addition to finding links between Islamic terrorists and US citizens, that they also found links between US politicians and foreign nationals, and that those links involved major $ transfers. [Remember Sen. Fred Thompson's trying to connect dots between Clinton campaign fund donations and what appeared to be big foreign spenders w/links to Chinese intelligence services? The mysterious transfer of Loral space technology to China (a major Dem. donor was involved), and China's interest in acquiring control of both the Panama Canal and facilities in the port of Long Beach? This is the kind of stuff that data mining is intended to look at...]
Thanks.
I think what we are all missing is the data may have been destroyed that they collected but a great deal if not most of the data they mined can be mined again. It is out there in many data bases. I wonder if they have started the operation over? I would hope so. The data exists in bank records and computers. It is there. It can be recreated again. If I were Clinton and his old gang at the justice department and the DNC I would be afraid of this operation.
