    22 November, 2004 The Department of Homeland Security efforts to improve maritime domain awareness include technological breakthroughs that, had they been available 40 years ago, might have let U.S. policymakers better anticipate, and thus counter, moves by Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, Dr. Charles E. McQueary, DHS undersecretary for science and technology, said ... The former president of General Dynamics Advanced Technology Systems said that a software program developed at the National Visualization Center--a joint venture between DHSí science and technology (S&T) directorate and the Pacific Northwest National Lab in Richland, Washington--shows “great promise” in anti-terror efforts as security officials sift through massive amounts of information relating to the country's seaports, looking for patterns. The promise for fighting current security threats, McQueary added, was shown when researchers “put 40 years of Castro's speeches in this thing and, indeed, found that had this capability existed back in the '60s, when Cuba was going through its upheaval, you could have predicted, based upon the speeches that were being given, that Cuba was well on its way to nationalizing the oil industry within the state.”
