 | | Subject: DHS Counterterror Centers Produce ‘a Bunch of Crap,’ Senate Finds Fri Oct 05, 2012 10:43 am | |

- They’re supposed to be “one of the centerpieces of our counterterrorism strategy,” according to Janet Napolitano, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. In practice, not so much.
- Quote :
- Five centers the Senate studied spent their federal terrorism grant money on “hidden ‘shirt button’ cameras,” cellphone tracking systems and other surveillance tools. They also spent their cash on things like “dozens of flat-screen TVs” and SUVs — sometimes claiming that Chevrolet Tahoes were intended to help “respond to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) incidents.” Others used fusion-center money to purchase equipment for medical examiners.
These fusion centers are a joke -what a waste -or guise I should say. They have never uncovered a terrorist plot . Instead, they are using a lot of these funds to police US citizens under the guise of terror'. Are we terrorists now? Should the money be spent on policing the US citizens instead of counterterrorism..... Sux this. Spending federal terrorism grants on policing us under the guise of terror crap is wrong! These centers need to be shut down - but they are popping EVERYWHERE!!! You'd be surprised at what you find when you go looking that up. Anyway even the Senate finds it a ''bunch of crap''.... Of course, they want to beef it up instead of getting RID of... Anyway, thought you guys should read the link. http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/10/fusion-centers/Semper Fi Lou | |
