Aren't I right that the Terrorist Surveillance Program is the new name that the Bush Administration came up with for Total Information Awareness, through the transitional name Terrorist Information Awareness? There’s the link – TSP stands for Terrorist Surveillance Program.

Aren’t I right that the Terrorist Surveillance Program is the new name that the Bush Administration came up with for Total Information Awareness, through the transitional name Terrorist Information Awareness?

Coincydink? Interesting, Warden — because a public unclassified brief filed by Bush administration lawyers shows a particularly urgent desire for the consideration of what constitutes “electronic surveillance” to be forstalled:

Litigation of plaintiffs’ constitutional and statutory claims would require
careful consideration of the facts and circumstances surrounding the TSP and any
application of the TSP to plaintiffs (including facts concerning whether any
surveillance constituted “electronic surveillance” within the meaning of FISA)-an
inquiry foreclosed by the state secrets privilege.

Gee, the redefinition of the term “electronic surveillance” is right at the top of the text of the Protect America Act of 2007! Coincydink?
