National Intelligence Director Wants Access to All Internet Communications {Switched.com}

Jan 21st 2008 11:17PM Why do these people want to have all the info from all the people?

Before 9/11 attacks, the federal government did have enough information (several already identified terrorists sharing the same postal address, suspicious movements, groups of them ticketing for the very same flights...), and just were not able to act accordingly

So, Mr. McConnell, you are telling us, that by multiplying the amount of data to analize, only then, you will see the things that you already are missing?
