Speaking of Data Mining

Talk Left's article yesterday about Latin American objections to the U.S. collecting data on their citizens, has this to say:

In late 2001, the Justice Department signed the first of several contracts with ChoicePoint, a company that collects biographical information and sells it to employers and insurance companies for resume checking and identity verification.

...Remember the name. Choice Point. We think we'll be hearing more about them.


Yeah. We should already have been hearing more about them. They were the company that Harris & Bush hired in Florida to purge voter roles using a faulty database. Read Greg Palast.

Remember the name, indeed.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
