Reply #1: Jay Rockefeller sure thought so!

In his "if-you-kill-me-i've-hidden-a-letter" letter to Big Time Dick Cheney of 17 July 2003, he said the following: "As I reflected on the meeting today, and the future we face, John Poindexter's TIA project sprang to mind, exacerbating my concern regarding the direction the Administration is moving with regard to security, technology, and surveillance."

Frankly, all of this miserable, hateful, totalitarian crap has its roots in the fact that most of us have acted as if the 4th Amendment was an afterthought, while the left screeched about the First and the Right howled about the Second. Without the Fourth Amendment, the First and Second are parlor doilies.

Of course this is TIA! Who believed the Busheviks when they said Poindexter was gone and they'd scrapped his idea?!
