And, as EPIC's Marc Rotenberg points out, Ashcroft did not pledge to work with outside experts on a technical review of Carnivore.
This is somewhat unfair. Ashcroft's answers were as bland and uninformative as possible, because he is being borked. No matter what he said, it will be used against him, so the best bet is to say as little as possible. If he said any good things on privacy, it would be used against him as gun issue is. If he said bad things on privacy, it would be used against him as the abortion issue is. --digsig James A.
