Senate Wants Database DragnetBy Ryan Singel
02:00 AM Oct. 06, 2004 PT
[Excerpt]
The Senate could pass a bill as early as Wednesday evening that would let government counter-terrorist investigators instantly query a massive system of interconnected commercial and government databases that hold billions of records on Americans.
The proposed network is based on the Markle Foundation Task Force's December 2003 report, which envisioned a system that would allow FBI and CIA agents, as well as police officers and some companies, to quickly search intelligence, criminal and commercial databases. The proposal is so radical, the bill allocates $50 million just to fund the system's specifications and privacy policies.
There is Security in SharingInformation Network Would Aid Terror Fight

Today, our government still does not have the information it needs to fight terrorism. And the information it does have is isolated in different agencies, and therefore we cannot see its significance. While the discussion over how to implement the 9/11 Commission's recommendations to restructure the intelligence community is important, another key commission recommendation, creating a "trusted information network" to facilitate better information sharing among our intelligence agencies, needs immediate attention. Implementing such a network would make America safer today.

James L. Barksdale (with Sally M.)March 5, 2001
As one of Silicon Valley's top Republican donors and the well-connected chief of a high-tech venture capital firm, James Barksdale is rumored to be in contention for the post of "technology czar" for President Bush.
"If there was something important that I could do that would be useful to a Bush administration, fine," Barksdale told the Wall Street Journal last December, "but I've got plenty to do."
Barksdale is a die-hard Republican who has backed George W. Bush, John Ashcroft, and Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott. He breaks party ranks only when high-tech issues are on the line: He gave $3,000 to Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat from Silicon Valley known for her support of easing trade, and former Senator Bob Kerrey, a Nebraska Democrat who chaired the Web-based Education Commission that advocated federal spending to wire public schools.

Philip D. ZelikowPhilip D. Zelikow is Executive Director of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, otherwise known as the 9-11 Commission.
There's a raft of evidence to suggest that Zelikow has personal, professional and political reasons not to see the commission hold Rice and other Bush officials accountable for pre-9/11 failings, and may be the de facto swing vote for Republicans on the panel.[1] Here are just a few of them:
* He and Rice worked closely together in the first Bush White House as aides to former National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft. Zelikow was director of European security affairs, and Rice was senior director of Soviet and East European affairs, as well as special assistant to the president. Rice reportedly hired Zelikow. Both started in 1989 and left in 1991.
* A few years after leaving the White House, Zelikow and Rice wrote a book together called, "Germany Unified and Europe Transformed: A Study in Statecraft."
* The two associated again when Zelikow directed the Aspen Strategy Group, a foreign-policy strategy body co-chaired by Rice's mentor Scowcroft. Rice, along with Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz, were members.
* Zelikow also directed the Markle Foundation's Task Force on National Security in the Information Age under co-chairman James Barksdale, a Bush adviser and major Bush-Cheney donor. A 9/11 commissioner, Republican Sen. Slade Gorton, also served with Zelikow on the task force.

TEXT OF AMENDMENTS
[Excerpts]
SA 3972. Mr. DURBIN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the bill S. 2845, to reform the intelligence community and the
intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United States
Government, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the
table; as follows:
At the appropriate place, insert:
SEC. 206. INFORMATION SHARING.
(1) The effective use of information, from all available
sources, is essential to the fight against terror and the
protection of our homeland. The biggest impediment to all-
source analysis, and to a greater likelihood of ``connecting
the dots'', is resistance to sharing information.
(2) The United States Government has access to a vast
amount of information, including not only traditional
intelligence but also other government databases, such as
those containing customs or immigration information. However,
the United States Government has a weak system for processing
and using the information it has.
***
(6) A new approach to the sharing of intelligence and
homeland security information is urgently needed. An
important conceptual model for a new ``trusted information
network'' is the Systemwide Homeland Analysis and Resource
Exchange (SHARE) Network proposed by a task force of leading
professionals assembled by the Markle Foundation and
described in reports issued in October 2002 and December 2003.
