It's been like that for as long as I can remember no matter who was 'in charge'. How else do you think the gov't gets so efficient at screwing over the taxpayers, stealing their money and wasting it? There is no entity more corrupt than gov't.

That is scary indeed. Between legislations like PATRIOT and the DMCA and people like this getting positions of that sort, Big Brother is getting very scary. |

More and more of this stuff reminds me of Orwell's 1984. Here's a fun quote to boot.

Well, Freeman should be very knowledgeable about personal privacy, after all, he's done more than most others to invade it on such a large scale. |

Just like the millions of tax payer dollars lost in their great computer systems upgrade that failed here is another example of the so called "political genius" that runs the US.
We need to send The Donald to address our government leadership and tell them based on their actions in securing our technology sector, "Your fired"!

I am sure glad I live in Canada right now, privacy is a major issue here and the House of Commons even passed a bill addressing spamers,etc. Not even the Canadian verson of the RIAA can get your name via your ip address. |

D. Reed Freeman, the "chief privacy officer" you bet, and a dog can take a crap in a Church, but that doesn't make it a holy object of veneration. Keep in mind this so called Integrity Committee is just a figure head thing. They get paid way too much money to meet several times a year to drink coffee, eat at expensive restaurants, stay in 5 star motels and we the tax payers pick up the tap. They will make recommendations that no one in the OHS will listen to, or care about. I would imagine this is a pay-off for political contributions. Most everyone in the cyber-world knows who this offering to the Canine Lawn Goddess is, and that is where in counts.
