Woo-hoo! Mark one down for the home team! Wired News reports on the quiet demise of the Justice Department’s TIPS program (BushAshcroft’s version of something like Cuban Revolutionary Defense Committees–one on every block). After becoming almost completely resigned to an Orwellian, globalized, post-apocalyptic future, it’s little victories like this that give one hope. Perhaps resistance does work, if only to slow things down. The Total Information Awareness project also seems to be standing on one leg. I commend those who’re trying to push it to the ground.
