The Total Information Awareness Office (TIA) and its controversial director Vice Adm. John M. Poindexter, (remembered by some for his Reagan era Iran Contra involvement), have begun to feel the heat of growing dissent concerning the activities of this project. Personal data about Poindexter has been posted on numerous weblogs (see this example) and discussed in many “mainstream” press articles, such as this one. One consequence of this cumulative criticism of the project has been the removal of biographical data from the TIA site, as noted here by computerbytesman, who has saved cached links to data that was removed.
