WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Five years ago, Congress killed an experimental Pentagon
antiterrorism program meant to vacuum up electronic data about people in the
U.S. to search for suspicious patterns. Opponents called it too broad an
intrusion on Americans' privacy, even after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

same system.
