Armey applies privacy brakes

Here\’s a funny (not funny Ha-Ha, but funny it\’s-so-pathetic-I-must-laugh funny) story from news.com on US Senate Majority Leader Dick Armey.


He said that since 97% of all federal Web sites failed to meet current privacy standards, there is no point trying to implement anymore standards.

\”We have an uphill battle,\” admitted Ed Mierzwinski, consumer program director for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) and a member of the Privacy Coalition. \”But all this shows is that the (corporate) agenda has been adopted by the House leadership, which we already knew.\”
