Pentagon Seeks U.S. Spy Powers
So, why would the military, who has already basically admitted that they are too damn busy to deal with the things that they are SUPPOSED to be dealing with, want to start keeping files on Americans?

The Department of Defense is asking for an exemption from the Privacy Act, which outlaws secret databases on Americans. Civil-rights activists are asking why the military wants to get into the domestic spying business. By Ryan Singel. [Wired News]
