IN DEFENSE OF DATA MINING
Mickey Kaus of Slate has an interesting article which explores the issues involved in 'data-mining' for terrorists. Data-Mining is a process of extracting useful information from large amounts of data. It is used in many industries but it’s use in military and law enforcement has been controversial. Apparently, before 9/11, the DOD discovered through data-mining that some of the 9/11 terrorists were in the country, but did not share that information with law enforcement.
