I searched and didn't get any forum hits on CITO.

“We need a bold new approach—one that is smart, tough, and targeted. This will require us to look beyond the structures of World War II and the Cold War to new tools that will allow us to target terrorism more precisely."

So says John Edwards, whose proposal for a worldwide anti-terror police organization will advance the cause of globalism.

Terrorist cells are multiplying throughout the world, both in friendly countries and in those with whom we have challenging relationships. The entire world community of nations has an interest in defeating terrorism and restoring legitimate government. As president, Edwards will create a new international institution: the Counterterrorism and Intelligence Treaty Organization (CITO). CITO will focus on high-level political and diplomatic engagement between a wide range of nation partners on all dimensions of the problem of terrorism, and operational programs like intelligence-sharing and cooperative security operations by partner nations.

Sounds like an expansion of Homeland Security around the globe. And, to top it all off, you're either with us or against us is clearly expressed in the plan:

It will also allow the creation of a new international alliance of partner nations who clearly state that terrorism is unacceptable, and the identification and isolation of those nations who refuse to join this cause.

Wow -- just imagine a high-profile global force that could openly track people anywhere -- being hailed as "heroes" and moving across borders unhindered (simplifying just about any kind of international criminal activity they care to engage in).

Something tells me this is likely to materialize regardless of whether Edwards is elected.
