The Air Force Office of Scientific Research recently began funding a new research area that includes a study of blogs.
Blog research may provide information analysts and warfighters with invaluable help in fighting the war on terrorism.
Drs. Brian E. Ulicny and Mieczyslaw M. Kokar, Framingham, Mass., will receive approximately $450,000 in funding for the 3-year project entitled “Automated Ontologically-Based Link Analysis of International Web Logs for the Timely Discovery of Relevant and Credible Information.”
The leading task in the so-called War on Terror continues to be spying on people who say stuff out loud. If you publish or read, hang out in unconventional places like libraries or the Web, you’re dangerous.
This Air Force press release is a boring, backwards piece of crap. It perfectly reflects a great deal of our current military [and government] mentality.
Read through it and reflect on why you’re all under suspicion.
