US Congress Committee Talking About Privacy

rm007 writes "The US House of Representatives Judicial Committee's Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law is holding hearings on the Privacy Officer for the Department of Homeland Security and approved the Defense of Privacy Act. The DHS Privacy Officer hearings are to examine how well the incumbent, Nuala O'Connor Kelly, is doing and whether the statute creating the position sufficiently addresses concerns about the handling of personally identifiable information. This should be worth watching. Wired News has an article that covers both of these as does GovExec.com, a newsletter for senior Federal employees."

That was Clinton(Democrat) not Bush. He was probably getting hummer at the time he made the call. I think he was trying to make his load hit at the sametime as the missles. Part of that problem is that he destroy the CIA and such, so of course his INTEL was crap and we have been paying for that mistake ever since. What and see when Keery gets into office. The US won't go anywhere do anything. That should make a lot of people happy. Put people in office are not willing to make the judgement call. Make the US, like the UN.
