The New York Times exposed both the NSA and SWIFT programs. Now the Independent exposes the Rich Picture program.
Up to 8,000 suspected al-Qa'ida sympathisers are being investigated by MI5 and the police in an operation to identify future terrorists, The Independent has learned.
The huge covert inquiry, known as project Rich Picture, is aimed at finding people who are being groomed for terrorism, and at identifying the Islamist extremists carrying out the recruitment.
Now, I wonder how the Independent "learned" about the program?
8,000 is a huge jump from the previous 800 possible terrorists.
