Execs at AOL Approved Release of Private Data? 156
reporter writes "The New York Times has published a report providing further details about the release of private AOL search queries to the public. According to the report: 'Dr. Jensen, who said he had worked closely with Mr. Chowdhury on projects for AOL's search team, also said he had been told that the posting of the data had been approved by all appropriate executives at AOL, including Ms. [Maureen] Govern.' The report also identifies the other two people whom AOL management fired: they are Abdur Chowdhury and his immediate supervisor. Chowdhury is the employee who did the actual public distribution of the private search queries. He, apparently, has retained a lawyer."

Perhaps someone should tell bush that congress is a coequal branch of government. Even if congress did it themselves, I'm sure there would be a signing statement to the contrary....

The Clerks argument! My favorite! Was it okay to blow up the Death Star the second time, while it was being repaired? Do you think the average storm trooper knows how to install a toilet main?
