By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN由菲利普莫里斯sniffen
The FBI wants to compile a massive computer database and analyze it for clues to unmask terrorist sleeper cells.联邦调查局要编纂一部庞大的计算机数据库，并分析它的线索，以揭露恐怖卧铺细胞。
Two congressmen are worried about whether the bureau will protect the privacy of US citizens.两名国会议员担心是否主席团会保护隐私的美国公民。
Reps. Brad Miller, DN.C., and James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., the chairman and ranking Republican on the House Science and Technology investigations subcommittee, asked the Government Accountability Office to investigate the proposal.报导，米勒， dn.c. ，詹姆斯森森布伦纳，俄-为WIS ，主席及高层对共和党众议院科学与技术调查委员会，要求政府问责办公室调查的建议。 Their June 4 letter to GAO was released Tuesday.他们6月4日写信给高被释放周二。
Miller and Sensenbrenner questioned both the FBI’s ability to properly manage such a large trove of data and whether predictive data-mining even works or just falsely casts suspicion on innocent people.米勒和森森布伦纳表示质疑联邦调查局的能力，妥善管理如此庞大的有价值的数据，以及是否预测数据挖掘，甚至工程或只是虚假地使人怀疑，对无辜的人。
The FBI is seeking $12 million in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 for its Foreign Terrorist Tracking Task Force to set up a National Security Branch Analysis Center, with 59 employees, including 23 contractors and five FBI agents.联邦调查局正在寻求1200万美元的财政年度始于10月1日为外国恐怖分子追踪专责小组，以建立一个全国性的保安科分析中心， 59个员工，包括23名承包商和五个联邦调查局特工。
Justice Department budget documents submitted to Congress predict the center will hold 6 billion records by 2012 and “the universe of subjects will expand exponentially.” That would equal “20 separate ‘records’ for each man, woman and child in the United States,” the congressmen wrote.美国司法部的预算文件中向国会提交的预测，该中心将举办60亿元的纪录， 2012年和"宇宙的科目将扩大指数" ，这将相当于" 20单独的'记录' ，为每一个男人，妇女和儿童，在美国， "国会议员写信。
The center “will leverage existing data-mining tools to help identify relationships between individuals, locations and events that may be indicators of terrorist or other activities of interest,” the Justice documents said, and these efforts “will improve efforts to identify ’sleeper cells.’”该中心"将利用现有的数据挖掘工具，以帮助识别关系的个人，地点和事件，可指标的恐怖主义或其他活动的兴趣， "司法文件说，这方面的努力" ，将改善努力，以确定'卧铺细胞' " 。
Eleven workers in a Proactive Data Exploitation unit will be assigned to ferret out patterns of suspicious behavior in the data, the congressmen wrote. 11名工人中，积极为数据开采单位，将被分派到深挖模式的可疑行为，在数据，国会议员写信。
They said the program resembles the Pentagon’s Total Information Awareness anti-terror data-mining research program.他们说，该计划类似于五角大楼的整体信息意识反恐数据挖掘的研究项目的一部分。 Congress ended TIA in 2003 out of privacy concerns, but much of its research was transferred to secret accounts in other agencies.代表大会结束评估工作， 2003年出的隐私问题，但它的许多研究被转移到秘密帐户中的其他机构。
FBI spokesman Mike Kortan had no comment on the letter but pointed out that bureau policy requires that “we adhere to all established DOJ guidelines, FBI policy and the law” when data-mining.联邦调查局发言人麦克kortan并未就此事发表评论信件，但他指出，局政策要求， "我们坚持一切既定的准则司法部，联邦调查局政策和法律"时，数据挖掘。
Miller and Sensenbrenner quoted Jeff Jonas, a data-mining expert and IBM Distinguished Engineer, as saying “data-mining for terrorism discovery … would waste taxpayer dollars, needlessly infringe on privacy and civil liberties and misdirect the valuable time and energy of the men and women in the national security community.”米勒和森森布伦纳引述杰夫的Jonas ，数据挖掘专家和IBM杰出工程师，说： "数据挖掘，为恐怖主义的发现…会浪费纳税人的钱，毫无必要地侵犯个人隐私和公民自由和误导的宝贵时间和精力的男性和妇女在国家安全共同体" 。
Jonas recently wrote that because there are so few known terrorist patterns of behavior, this kind of search would “flood the national security system with false positives _ suspects who are truly innocent.”的Jonas最近撰文说，因为有那么几个已知的恐怖分子的行为模式，这种搜索会"洪水国家安全系统与假阳性_嫌疑人，是真正无辜的" 。
The two congressmen added that the FBI’s history suggests “the agency may have difficulty developing and operating” such a center.两位众议员说，美国联邦调查局的历史经验表明， "该机构可能会遇到困难，开发和经营"这样一个中心。 “The FBI has historically been unable to develop information systems in a reliable cost-effective and technically proficient manner,” they wrote. "联邦调查局已经在历史上一直无法发展信息系统，在一个可靠的成本效益和技术不精的态度， "他们写道。
