Reply #39: To Abramoff's long list of scandal, add being connected to cifa

[donkeyotay]

The moves have taken place on several fronts. The White House is considering expanding the power of a little-known Pentagon agency called the Counterintelligence Field Activity, or CIFA, which was created three years ago. The proposal, made by a presidential commission, would transform CIFA from an office that coordinates Pentagon security efforts -- including protecting military facilities from attack -- to one that also has authority to investigate crimes within the United States such as treason, foreign or terrorist sabotage or even economic espionage.

From a previous post by FormerRepublican:

Perhaps the prime illustration of the Pentagon's Intelligence growth is CIFA, which remains one of its least publicized intelligence agencies...the agency's mission is to "transform" the way counterintelligence is done by "fully utilizing 21st century tools and resources."

One CIFA activity, threat assessments, involves using "leading edge information technologies and data harvesting,"...with the help of outside contractors including White Oak Technologies Inc... and MZM

The article is no longer available. White Oak's Broder was a donor to Abramoff's Capital Athletic Foundation, and MZM is of Cunningham scandal fame. Who is going to keep us safe from the people keeping us safe?
