Porter Goss Bears Fruit at CIA

There are apparently still a few CIA personnel who want to find out who the bad guys are, where they are, and what they're up to:

The U.S. government is investing a lot of money to develop a search engine that will out-Google Google. The new system detects concepts, rather than just words and phrases, in online (or off-line) material (documents, email, chat room text). Actually, this is an old concept, but it requires lots of computer power to make it work. Someone noticed that the U.S. government now has access to lots and lots of computer power. Someone thought, “we-can-do-this.” And it was done.

Screw the American Library Association. We'll catch the bad guys through the Internet instead.
