« House GOP Needs Help | Main | Inconsistencies in Anti-Blogger Legislation Explanations » February 1, 2007Army IntelligenceBen Cunningham passed along this link from the FOIA Blog. The Electronic Frontier Foundation ("EFF") has filed suit against the Department of Defense ("DOD") in its attempt to get information about the Army Web Risk Assessment Cell ("AWRAC"). News reports in the Fall of 2006 stated that AWRAC scanned the internet for operational security violations found in postings of both official and unofficial army web sites. EFF filed a FOIA request to both DOD and the Army seeking information about the AWRAC program in November of 2006.I'm not up on the details, but it seems to me that if the DOD was scanning the public Internet for information that might compromise national or operational security, that's a good thing. It is, after all, the public Internet and if someone is posting information that puts American troops or tactics at risk, the military ought to know about it. We are a nation at war with an enemy 100 percent committed to our destruction. Posted in War on Terror
