WestVirginiaRebel Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 The Hill:As House Republicans plan an ambitious oversight agenda for the next session of Congress, a watchdog group is calling for a probe into a company that it says is far too cozy with the Obama administration: Google.The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), a group that advocates for a smaller and more ethical government, wrote to leaders of the House Oversight Committee this month urging them to investigate a major privacy breach by Google. It wants to know if the company's ties to the administration helped it dodge penalties after the incident. The group also urges a look at Google's ties to the administration more generally, pointing to what it calls "a growing body of evidence" that shows the administration's "unusually close relationship with Google has resulted in favoritism towards the company on federal policy issues.""Like Halliburton in the previous administration, Google has an exceptionally close relationship with the current administration," the letter says. ________Google as Obama's Halliburton?

Geee Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 In the beginning of the O administration when we were documenting the background of the new people in the O administration on WA, we had a long thread on the ties to Google in the campaign and the administration. Alas it is gone in cyberspace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
