Army has authority to spy on Americans? |

CQ HOMELAND SECURITY – INTELLIGENCE Jan. 31, 2006 – 9:21 p.m. Official: Army Has Authority to Spy on Americans By Jeff Stein, CQ Staff
“Contrary to popular belief, there is no absolute ban on intelligence components collecting U.S. person information,” the U.S.Army’s top intelligence officer said in a 2001 memo that surfaced Tuesday.
Not only that, military intelligence agencies are permitted to “receive” domestic intelligence information, even though they cannot legally “collect” it,” according to the Nov. 5, 2001, memo issued by Lt. Gen. Robert W. Noonan Jr., the deputy chief of staff for intelligence.
“MI may receive information from anyone, anytime,” Noonan wrote in the memo, obtained by Secrecy News, a newsletter from the non-profit Federation of American Scientists in Washington.
Defense Department and Army regulations “allow collection about U.S. persons reasonably believed to be engaged, or about to engage, in international terrorist activities,” Noonan continued.(article continues at http://cqpolitics.com/cq.com/www.cq.com/public/20060131_homeland.html) What kind of shit is this? Is there ANYTHING that the government can't or won't do?
