Another reason not to mourn Wesley Clark: Looks like some of that lobbying work he did was for a firm being considered to help administer the "Total Information Awareness" project (yeah, that one): In an e-mail dated May 21, 2002 to TIA developers John Poindexter and Robert Popp, a DARPA employee writes that "Acxiom is the nation's largest commercial data warehouse company ($1B/year) with customers like Citibank, Walmart, and other companies whose names you know. They have a history of treating privacy issues fairly and they don't advertise at all. As a result they haven't been hurt as much as Choice Point, Seisint, etc by privacy concerns and press inquiries.
