Cumming Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:00:01 +0000 http://www.hlswatch.com/?p=7430#comment-137364 Good post and great topic. DHS announced this last week that EM and PH types being added to FUSION CENTERS. I believe 56 are in place or about to be. What do we know about the privacy controls in place for these groups? Would it have been cheaper to just hire the non-regulated credit reporting agencies that have complete access to all the data and use it all in various ways? Being somewhat facetious of course but the private sector has little interest in privacy and I personally find little litigation over privacy rights. There is at least one legal treatise out on Privacy Law but expensive and don't have it. What I find interesting about the Hassan case at FT Hood is that the military usually knows all about its soldiers and sailors and airman. Yet, even though the testimony of Retired General Keene, former vice chair of Army, that guidelines to protect against White Supremacists in the military exist nothing on radicalized Jihadis within the military. Hey increasing looks like dereliction of duty and expecting increased retirements from the ARMY FT HOOD fallout. If in fact Hassan was donating $30,000 per annum to Muslim Charities bit unusual me thinks. Good post and great topic. DHS announced this last week that EM and PH types being added to FUSION CENTERS.
