Using technology to combat Terror: Starlight 3.0

I wonder if this is supposed to replace Carnivore or if it's part of the mythical Echelon NSA project?
Either way it has to be like sipping from a fire hydrant.

Ever so often, we hear about the need for more "human intelligence" in espionage. But then operatives like "Curveball" from Iraq tell us what we want to hear instead of what's true. Although we'll never eliminate the need for HUMINT, we do need to do a better job at sifting through all the digital data that we collect. Hopefully, this software will help get us there.
