Am doing two pieces for al-Jazeera on aspects of the intel contracting/persona management/mass surveillance issue, both of which will cite your March piece. The second one deals largely with TASC and Romas/COIN, a surveillance apparatus that they were pursuing with Barr in hopes of competing with Northrop Grumman's existing contract. Don't know much about specifics yet. Called up John Lovegrove at TASC and he wasn't too happy to hear from me. He tried to proclaim his initial stumbling as "off the record" but I told him that wasn't going to work for me. Here's the phone call: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCpyJAOxnT0 And here's some background: http://wiki.echelon2.org/wiki/TASC
