Citizens Forum for Civil Liberties (CFCL) notes that in "his September 3, 2004 memorandum, Mr. (Michael) Wynne, Acting Under Secretary of Defense, Acquisition, Technology & Logistics directed the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) to work with US Department of Defense’s largest contractors on their strategies for implementing Unique Identification (UID). Based on that direction, Major General Scott sent letters notifying defense industry leaders that DCMA will facilitate proposals for company initiated Single Process Initiatives to enable UID implementation across all Military Services/DLA."

It is the same Unique Identification (UID) hwich being pursued as Aadhaar in India without disclosure of its real motives.
Major General (Dr) S.G.Vombatkere who served Indian military for 35 years says, "No serious security assessment can fail to overlook possible misuse of the Communications Interoperability and Security Memorandum of Agreement (CISMOA)’s cyber security strengths to infiltrate into the UID data base for civil and social control." He adds, "A similar scheme in Britain was rejected by the British government because it would lay people open to e-surveillance, compromising privacy and civil liberties in the name of national security."

In such backdrop, if one looks at the opinion poll of The Times of India on whteher or not Indians need Aadhaar, it seems stage managed.
