there's some discussion of etzoni here: http://www.cluebot.com/article.pl?sid=00/10/10/2031205&mode=nested Bush and Gore Campaigns Will Debate Privacy posted by cicero on Tuesday October 10, @03:22PM Representatives of the George W. Bush and Al Gore campaigns will debate privacy in Washington on October 16. Now, the candidates themselves aren't going to be there, but a privacy debate is still a first. A related one happened today at the Brookings Institution, when Sen. Robert Bennett (for Bush) and Robert Shapiro, Commerce Department undersecretary (for Gore) tangled over "technology and the global economy." There's one odd thing about the Bush-Gore privacy debate: It's being hosted by Amitai Etzioni of George Washington University, a "communitarian" who's deeply suspicious of proposals to limit government surveillance, and an unusual choice for a moderator. See below for details. Also see Gore and Bush and Ralph Nader on privacy.
