U.S. police said many of the suspected al-Qaida terrorists were nabbed through the use of the state-of-the-art computer software program Promis. The system interfaces with any database and can provide information on credit card, banking, pension, tax, criminal and immigration records.
Oh well ... so much for privacy. Sigh.

I was in Toronto last month ... lot of Pakistanies per capita in the city. Found myself doing a little
racial profiling ... screw the PC crowd.

Quite seriously, I'm trying to deal with the guilt I have over the thought that what I want to happen equates with genocide.

Thanks for the flag, Le-Roy
" U.S. police said many of the suspected al-Qaida terrorists were nabbed through the use of the state-of-the-art computer software program Promis."
So Promis is (allegedly) still "state-of-the-art" after all these years.

My husband and I discussed a trip to Toronto when we thought we might cancel our planned airline trip after 9/11. I always liked going to Toronto in the past. This time I didn't want to go because the population is just to damn diverse for my tastes right now. We wnt to San Diego instead. LOL

" Meanwhile, Peel police have arrested a Toronto man who allegedly assaulted an elderly man and flight stewardess on a Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong on Thursday." Does anyone know what became of those detained/arrested last week that were coming in from the Phillipines? I've been expecting to see some Islamic Asian terrorists slipping into the country now that we are all concentrating on the 'mid-easterner' types.

"Thought y'all might be interested in the excerpt in #2." Isn't that the 'secret' spy program that was sold to all our enemies, including Bin Laden?

I've heard a few Toronto denizens claim that there couldn't possibly be a problem with terrorists in their city... let alone, Canada. So much for that delusion.

"Isn't that the 'secret' spy program that was sold to all our enemies, including Bin Laden?"(Promis)
According to some folks with Agendas on here (Fred2.5, Poohbah, sinkspur, etc.) Promis is just KooK material now. Obsoleted, down the tubes, trashed...... Just like all the KooKy stuff about OKC, Waco, Ruby Ridge and Mena.
But most their comments are deleted, after a respectable time, huh?

Interesting bit of name-dropping on their part.
Thanks (as always) for the heads up.

Hmmmm.....
A bureaucrat was making a routine inquiry. The government, he said, was using Promis and was hoping a French version was available. Some 900 government offices had it.
Alarm bells went off at Inslaw. Canada wasn't licensed to use the case- management software.
Later, officials in Ottawa insisted there had been a mistake and the software wasn't Inslaw's Promis after all. At that time, both the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service denied they were using Promis or a version of it.

Here's one that Boyd posted way back ----
Microsoft's 'Promis': French Intelligence There are some links on it, but beware, I think some "intel" types played a game with some of them. They get you to a "XXX" entry site that runs you around in circles trying to get back out :-)

Well, phooey. You're right, that link is currently unavailable (hopefully only temporarily).
However, here's a link to another of Uncle Bill's excellent compilations, with tons of links, some info about Promis, some links about the 'blood trail'. Folks can take off from there, and hopefully find more.

a Parkdale refugee claimant who is alleged to be a lieutenant of Osama bin LadenYou all might be interested in the name of the town - "Parkdale."
Remember the Vassar expert, Don Foster, thought the writer of the anthrax letters may have had a Canadian connection.
