I ran across this interesting article this afternoon...

The Homeland Security Department has awarded Rutgers University a $3
million grant to lead research on identifying patterns and
relationships in public information sources to better detect possible
terrorist activity.

Rutgers will lead a consortium of industry and academic research labs
that will develop the new technologies, specifically to find patterns
and relationships in news stories, blogs and other sources. They will
also look for ways to rate the consistency and reliability of the sources.
