From today's NY Times

Late last month, an Internet privacy watchdog group revealed that the Central Intelligence Agency had contributed money for a counterterrorism project that promised, among other things, an automated surveillance system to monitor conversations on Internet chat rooms. Developed by two computer scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., as part of a National Science Foundation program called Approaches to Combat Terrorism, the chat room project takes aim at the possibility that terrorists could communicate through crowded public chat channels, where the flurry of disconnected, scrolling messages makes it difficult to know who is talking to whom. The automated software would monitor both the content and timing of messages to help isolate and identify conversations.

what the fuck? Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute didnt get it's "welcome to the internet" guide from it's isp huh.. On irc theres this command called /msg or /query that makes the need to chat in crowded channels useless when you can do it alone with no one looking. What fucking chimp is running the cia? they need to "contribute money" to someone who can offer them a fuckin clue.

Yep, especially when you get posts like the two above yours. Very sad.
