The Pentagon announced Wednesday that more than 250 entries were improperly stored in a classified database of potential terrorist threats. The Pentagon says it’s putting in place additional safeguards on its Talon reporting system, which populates the database, and bumping up oversight to make sure only the proper information is housed in the future. A review was launched in December following reports that the database contained data pertaining to U.S. peace activists and others who did not present a legitimate security threat. A number of critics blasted the Pentagon, claiming the program was the equivalent of domestic spying.”]
