Now that John Poindexter has resigned from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the furor has died down over the quashed proposal for an online market in terrorism futures, consider why it isn’t so far-fetched and might spring up again.

Middle East futures market returns
Private firm will restart Pentagon project, but without contracts for violence, in 2004.
November 18, 2003: 5:15 PM EST
By Mark Gongloff, CNN/Money Staff Writer

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - A shelved Pentagon plan to create a market allowing traders to bet on the likelihood of events in the Middle East has been revived by the private firm that helped develop it.

But the new version of the Policy Analysis Market (PAM) will not include any securities based on forecasts of violent events such as assassinations or terror attacks, in an effort to avoid the kind of criticism that sank the project this summer.

CNN/Money incorrectly reported Monday that the market would be much like the one that was backed by the Defense Department, which would have allowed traders to create contracts for, say, whether Yasser Arafat would be assassinated.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency proposed the creation of Policy Analysis Market, a futures market that would allow anyone, including professional traders and potential terrorists, to buy and sell futures contracts anonymously based on the likelihood of political or economic events occurring in the Middle East.

In other words, if you are the owner of a contract that reads, “The American embassy in Tel Aviv will be bombed before October 1, 2003,” and other people think that will happen and also want to purchase similar contracts, the value of your futures contract will rise.

Though it initially appears that the main purpose of a futures market is to make money on sound predictions, another benefit is that they can often successfully predict the outcome of events better than polls or “expert” opinions. The reasoning behind establishing P.A.M. was that it would serve as an intelligence gathering tool: if several people were buying futures on a potential embassy bombing in Tel Aviv, the security would be heightened there.
