Poindexter forced to resign from Pentagon after backing scheme for futures market in world chaos

One of the most politically accident-prone officials in recent American history has been forced to resign over his scheme to establish a futures market to allow speculators to bet on assassinations, coups and acts of terrorism, it emerged yesterday.
Admiral John Poindexter was already controversial when he was hired by the Bush administration. He had been Ronald Reagan's national security adviser, and played a central role in illegally channelling funds from Iranian arms sales to rightwing Contra guerrillas in Nicaragua.
He was convicted of lying to Congress and obstruction of justice after he admitted destroying incriminating documents, but the conviction was later overturned on technical grounds, in an appeal court dominated by Reagan-appointed judges.
Admiral Poindexter caused uproar almost immediately in his new Pentagon job as the head of an ambitious electronic surveillance scheme aimed at monitoring the personal records of ordinary Americans in the search for signs of terrorist activity.
The scheme was known as the Total Information Awareness system, with an all-seeing eye as a symbol, and Knowledge is Power as its motto.
