HIDING THE *FACT* THAT ALL THIS STUFF WAS PLANNED BEFORE 9-11 re. Information Awareness Office; NY Times missed the this fact.
Here's a little thing you can do.
The New York Times has noted the following bogus line as fact:
"Mr. Poindexter is pursuing a scheme he thought up right after 9/11 and then sold to the Bush administration."

However, for the document proving this IAO beast was in the making long before 9-11, see:

Be friendly. Don't flame them. Remember, they are the one main paper that is strongly against the Orwell nightmare that is the Information Awareness Office. But they need to get off their ass and do better investigative reporting to show just how bad this beast is so as to have an influence on the other parrot media. In activist warfare, it makes sense to target an inflection point. These NYT folks are already mostly on "our side" on this issue and they can be pushed further to investigate further and to show just how bad the program is. Articulate and email them. It's easy -- it will take you 20 seconds. If only 50 people do this, it will have a big impact. That's right.... just 50 people.
...and 200 to 300 is easily doable. Copy and past this and email it to your friends
