Do you think Mr. Koza would answer questions about it? The pre- Total Information Awareness system seems to indicate he can be reached at 410-964-3814 in Columbia, MD, a 25 minute drive from Fort Meade. If he's encouraging tapping people's home phones, surely he can't object to a phone call simply asking for information. Learning more about this is clearly in the public interest. He should be given an opportunity to explain this disturbing news. > Koza specifies that the information will be used for the US's 'QRC' - Quick Response > Capability - 'against' the key delegations.
