Politics: Poindexter Turns Surveillance Skills to Want Ads

Senators may be offering Admiral Poindexter some tips of their own soon -- on where he can find a new job.

Debating the defense spending bill for next year, Senators inserted the following clause:

"No funds appropriated or otherwise made available to the Department of Defense ... or to any other department, agency or element of the federal government, may be obligated or expended on research and development on the Terrorism Information Awareness program."

Although they declined to comment, administration reviewers of the spending bill reported back to Congress that the provision would "deny an important potential tool in the war on terrorism."

Take a hike, fattie. Start spending some time spying on your own damn self.
