The National Security Archive on Monday published a collection of documents concerning the operation of the Pentagon's Counterintelligence Field Activity and its anti-terrorism database known as TALON.
The Defense Department announced earlier this summer that it would close the controversial information gathering program preserve the data collected in accordance with intelligence oversight requirements (Read Technology Daily's coverage).
The archive's declassified papers include the key departmental directive on the collection of information about Americans, as well as documents on CIFA, an evaluation of charges of mismanagement by CIFA executives, and examples of TALON data collected about protest activities.
