"..Another piece that Rumsfeld erected at the Pentagon is dismantled: 'Counterintelligence Field Activity, or CIFA'..

"...CIFA was widely criticized for gathering data on anti-war protesters, allegedly because they represented a threat to military bases and facilities, under a program known as Talon. The agency was the brainchild of Rumsfeld aides Stephen Cambone and Paul Wolfowitz
As always with these bureaucratic changes, the question is: what has really changed? Or, more specifically, will the Defense Department continue to have an expanded role in domestic intelligence-gathering and surveillance?"
