What's In A Name?

The Pentagon has renamed its controversial Total Information Awareness program "Terrorist Information Awareness," Reuters reports. In an effort to address concerns that TIA would allow unfettered surveillance by combing computer records, the Pentagon told Congress that "the program would have built-in mechanisms to ensure that it did not intrude on Americans' privacy." Meanwhile the Pentagon announced a new office to set "the defense priorities for the intelligence community." It will be called the
Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence in the Pentagon.
