The Pentagon's spy unit has quietly begun to rebuild a database for tracking potential terrorist threats that was shut down after it emerged that it had been collecting information on American anti-war activists.
五角大樓的間諜組已經悄悄地開始重建一個數據庫，為跟踪潛在的恐怖威脅；那在出現後已被關閉，它曾在收集美國反戰活躍份子的資料。
The Defense Intelligence Agency filed notice this week that it plans to create a new section called Foreign Intelligence and Counterintelligence Operation Records, whose purpose will be to "document intelligence, counterintelligence, counterterrorism and counternarcotic operations relating to the protection of national security."
美國國防情報局本週提出通知，它計劃創建一個新的部門，稱為外國情報和反情報行動記錄，它的目的將是“提供文件的情報、反間諜、反恐怖主義和反毒品，有關保護國家安全。”
But while the unit's name refers to "foreign intelligence," civil liberties advocates and the Pentagon's own description of the program suggest that Americans will likely be included in the new database.
不過雖然該單位的名稱是指向“外國情報，”公民自由倡導者和五角大樓自己對該方案的描述，提出美國人很可能會被包括在新的數據庫中。
FICOR replaces a program called Talon, which the DIA created in 2002 under then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld as part of the counterterrorism efforts following the 9/11 attacks. It was disbanded in 2007 after it emerged that Talon had retained information on anti-war protesters, including Quakers, even after it was determined they posed no threat to national security.
FICOR替代一個名為爪的項目，那是國防情報局成立於 2002年，在當時的國防部長唐納德拉姆斯菲爾德之下，在接著9 / 11的恐怖襲擊後作為反恐努力的一部分。它在2007年解散，在它出現爪已保留反戰示威者包括貴格會的信息，即使是決定了他們對國家安全沒有構成任何威脅後。
DIA spokesman Donald Black told Newsweek that the new database would not include the more controversial elements of the old Talon program. But Jeff Stein at the Washington Post reports that the new program will evidently inherit the old Talon database.
