In class today, Inman mentioned that his privacy had been invaded during the nomination process; when asked for elaboration, he cited cases of the press going around asking questions about his wife and sons. So Inman seems sensitive to issues of privacy, but in this case, they seem to be primarily associated with invasions of privacy by the media rather than by the government.
I seem to remember that Inman was quoted as having said many NSA-ish things in the past; I think this was mentioned on the list during his nomination process - Inman appeared to spooky to be bothered about individual privacy from 'National Security' spooks themselves. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rishab Aiyer Ghosh "Clean the air! clean the sky! wash the wind! rishab@dxm.ernet.in take stone from stone and wash them..." rishab@arbornet.org Voice/Fax/Data +91 11 6853410 Voicemail +91 11 3760335 H 34C Saket, New Delhi 110017, INDIA
