Latest good idea from the Governor:
Governor Timothy M. Kaine signed an Executive Directive today that will help Virginia consumers better protect their confidential personal and financial information. The governor also signed an Executive Order setting deadlines and establishing Cabinet-level oversight in the continuing effort to improve the security of data held in state government computer networks.
Given the recent explosion of identity theft and the federal GOP's failure to pass anything on data protection, the states have had to lead the way. Not sure what our state legislature has done - but good to see that Kaine isn't waiting on them.

But Dick Cheney says he NEEDS to check your credit (Andrea Chamblee - 1/14/2007 3:34:31 PM)
This makes sure you're not a terrorist.

This assurance from a drunk hunter who shoots his friends in the face. You'd better stay on his good side. Imagine what he does to those on his bad side.

The linki to WaPo did not show up above:

FBI, CIA admit to sending thousands of "National Security letters" in at least 500 investigations. Cheney claims the letters raise no concerns.

Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas, the new chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said his panel will be the judge of that.
