新しい国内衛星監視サーベイランス制度
水曜日、2008年4月9日
新しい衛星監視サーベイランス制度を国会の新しい批評の下に進水させる自国の保安の部門のための計画は来ている。 先週、ミハエルChertoff秘書は衛星監視サーベイランス制度が行ってすぐに準備ができていることを言った。 しかし今 ウォールストリート・ジャーナル プライバシーの心配に演説するために部門が多くをしなければレポート民主党員はプログラムを締めることを脅している。 衛星プログラムは緊急状態応答および他の国内保証必要性の援助への偵察衛星のイメージへの広汎なアクセスを中央政府の、州および支部役人に与えるように設計されている。 しかし評論家はブッシュ政権のhasnを言うか。tは法的プログラムが勝ったことを保障するために安全装置を作成したか。tは国内調査のために使用される。 - 今民主主義 プライバシーの恐れは衛星プログラムを脅す
Ms. Keehner said the office hadn’t been launched, but that DHS “continues to take preparatory steps so that we can stand up to the NAO once the congressional requirements have been met.” The clash is the latest in a series of conflicts between Democrats on Capitol Hill and the administration over privacy issues stemming from intelligence and national-security programs. As recently as last week, Mr. Chertoff said the program would soon be ready to go. “We’ve fully addressed anybody’s concerns,” he said. The department has already begun to post job openings; one of the first people they are seeking to hire for the satellite program is a lawyer. The plan ran into resistance on Capitol Hill shortly after it was announced in August, as lawmakers asked for a legal framework and details of how the program would operate to ensure Americans’ privacy. Homeland officials promised not to begin the program until they answered lawmakers’ concerns. For months, the department worked on a document it called the new program’s charter. That document got hung up within the administration last winter because agencies, including the Director of National Intelligence, expressed concerns that it did not untangle legal issues such as how to ensure that state and local privacy guidelines were followed. Plans to provide imagery from the satellite program to state and local law-enforcement officials have been put on hold until legal and privacy issues are resolved. (See the charter.) The charter creates a working group to handle policy and legal issues and lists which privacy-related laws will govern the work of the new spy satellite office. It also clarifies that the satellites won’t be used to intercept communications. Democratic lawmakers said the charter doesn’t address the requirements they have written into law. Congress said it wouldn’t provide money in 2008 for the program until the department certified that it adhered to privacy laws and the Government Accountability Office reviewed it. Homeland Security hasn’t yet sent GAO a certification for review. Rep. Thompson, along with Democratic Reps. Jane Harman of California and Christopher P. Carney of Pennsylvania, wrote to Mr. Chertoff to ask he stop further work until he addresses their concerns. “We are disappointed by [the department's] continuing pattern of putting the cart before the horse,” they wrote. Rep. Thompson said he wants to see, in writing, how existing laws will be applied to safeguard civil liberties and privacy. The charter describes at what points in the process lawyers will evaluate the legality of a request for data from the office, but it doesn’t explain how they will make their determinations. Rep. Harold Rogers of Kentucky, the top Republican on the subcommittee that doles out the Homeland Security department’s money, called the spy satellite program “an important tool for domestic counterterrorism operations” and said he will work to ensure the department will meet congressional requirements. Homeland Security’s inspector general concluded in a report released last week that the department needs to revise its assessment of the new office’s impact on privacy and civil liberties before launching the spy-satellite program. The department said it has done that. Have Your Say: New Domestic Satellite Surveillance System Please read our posting guidelines before posting. Alternatively you can discuss this report here.
