Acxiom role part of airline passenger privacy debate

By Robert O'Harrow Jr.
THE WASHINGTON POST

Sept. 27 ? Retired Gen. Wesley K. Clark helped an Arkansas information company win a contract to assist development of an airline passenger screening system, one of the largest surveillance programs ever devised by the government.
Starting just after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, Clark sought out dozens of government and industry officials on behalf of Acxiom Corp., a data powerhouse that maintains names, addresses and a wide array of personal details about nearly every adult in the United States and their households, according to interviews and documents.
Clark, a Democrat who declared himself a presidential candidate 10 days ago, joined Acxiom?s board of directors in December 2001. He earned $300,000 from Acxiom last year and was set to receive $150,000, plus potential commissions, this year, according to financial disclosure records. He owns several thousand shares of Acxiom stock worth more than $67,000.

Looks like a skeleton has come out of the closet....

Red, I think you may have misunderstood me... Clark is one of the people I am considering voting for, but I admitedly don't know a lot about him. I have just been trying to post background articles, and articles that shed some light on his specific policies and such. I try not to only post favorable ones so people can see both the good and bad.



Edit:

If you were referring to the article or it's author...nevermind.

More important than looking at the good and the bad is looking at what and how we came to determine what we call good and bad. Some questions that might apply here are, is it bad to make money working for a company, is it bad to find a way to screen passengers who fly, does a focus in an area preclude trying to remain awake to potential unintended consequences that may arise from emphasis on that focus.

The problem I see with people is that they are a pile of unexamined assumptions a correct analysis of which would lead to deep humility.

Clark is not in office while cheney is and is still getting paid by halliburton as they get no-bid contracts.

Cheney is the definition of conflict of interest, there's no comparison.
