It features names, addresses and photographs of potential suspects --many of whom have clean slates. Since the system was introduced in Wilmington in June, most of the 200 people included in the file have been minorities from poor, high-crime neighborhoods."

    I just saw my first Microsoft ad (visual studio.net) on slashdot attached to this article. They may have been here for a while but this is the first one I saw. Wow, how things have changed.
