6. I worked on a contract where we did data mining of
Nigerian white collar criminals - this was when Reno was AG under Clinton. That was a legitimate use for this technology because of the many numerous scams that these intelligent, hardworking criminals perpetrated.

Ironically it was only after Janet Reno was out and Ashcroft was installed that the internet was inendated with these stupid Nigerian spam letters.

These people (in DOJ) are stupid I tell you! It's not just a matter of sneaky data mining - that will always take place. Just data mine the people who are perpetuating the Internet crimes. DUH!
