John Ponidexter: the man who will spy on every American

Look at his background:

" Rear Adm. John Poindexter.
Adm. Poindexter was last seen in public prominence as the adviser
to President Ronald Reagan who played a pivotal role in concocting a
plan to sell arms -- illegally -- to an American enemy, Iran, in order
to provide support -- illegally -- to the Nicaraguan contras. His good
work netted him felony convictions for lying to Congress, which
were ironically overturned because Congress had granted
him immunity for his testimony."


Above excerpt is from the article, "A threat to privacy "
courier-journal.com

"The purpose of TIA, which is still in the research stage, is to create a
mega-database of individuals' school transcripts, Internet and e-mail traffic,
credit card and banking transactions, travel and telephone records, library checkouts
and a host of other activity that most Americans properly regard as private. "
