Big Brother contre Big Brother

Il n’est pas inutile de revenir sur le mémo interne de l’administration Obama, pour montrer la très subversive pénétration de WikiLeak auprès des très vertueux fonctionnaires des diverses bureaucraties du gouvernement fédéral. On citera un extrait d’un texte de commentaire de MSNBC, qui a mis le mémo en lecture sur son site.

Le texte, du 5 janvier 2011, détaille notamment l’absurdité des mesures conseillées par l’Office of Management and Budget (OMB) de la Maison-Blanche.

«“This is paranoia, not security,” said Steven Aftergood, a national security specialist for the Federation of American Scientists, who obtained a copy of the memo.

»What the administration is doing, he added, is taking programs commonly used at the CIA and other intelligence agencies to root out potential spies and expanding them to numerous other agencies — such as the State Department, the Energy Department, NASA, Homeland Security and Justice — where they are unlikely to work.

“It's triply absurd”

»For example, the idea of requiring workers to report any contacts with members of the news media, as though all such contacts are suspicious, is “absurd” at the CIA, where it has long been standard policy, said Aftergood. “It’s triply absurd at most other agencies,” he added. […]

»Perhaps the most impractical question, according to Aftergood, relates to what steps the agencies are taking to monitor whether federal workers have visited the WikiLeaks website before they started their jobs or after they retired. “Do you capture evidence of pre-employment and/or post-employment activities or participation in online media data mining sites like WikiLeaks or Open Leaks?” the memo asks.

»Aftergood said he was baffled as to how the administration expects to monitor what websites employees visit from their home computers after they have retired. “It may be that this is what the administration needs to do to deflect congressional anger” over WikiLeaks, he said. “But some of it doesn’t make any sense.”»
