„A Manhattan Project for Counter-Terrorism.“

„Today, we are in a world of asymmetries. The most serious asymmetric threat facing the United States is terrorism, a threat characterized by collections of people loosely organized in shadowy networks that are difficult to identify and define and whose goals are the destruction of our way of life. The intelligence collection targets are thousands of people whose identities and whereabouts we do not always know.“

Dr. John M. Poindexter, Director Information Awareness Office (IAO)
