Google rips Justice Department in court papers
By Michael Liedtke, The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO --
Google criticized the Bush administration's demand to examine millions
of its users' Internet search requests as a misguided fishing
expedition that threatens to ruin the company's credibility and reveal
its closely guarded secrets.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based company delivered its indignant
critique Friday in a 25-page brief that marked its initial legal
response to the U.S. Justice Department's attempt to force the online
search engine leader to comply with a 6-month-old subpoena.
The Justice Department has until Feb. 24 to respond to the papers that
Google filed Friday.
A hearing for oral arguments is scheduled March 13 before U.S.
District Judge James Ware in San Jose, Calif.
The case has attracted widespread attention because the Justice
Department's demand to peek under the hood of the Internet's most
popular search engine has underscored the potential for online
databases becoming tools for government surveillance.

If I owned Google I would stall the court proceedings as long as possible.
During that time I would secretly set up shop in some country that is not
beholden to the USA. One morning I would tell the key staff, "Anybody who
wants to come along gets all moving expenses paid plus a huge relocation
bonus. Anybody who wants to stay, goodbye." Safe in my new digs I would
phone Bush and tell him to ram his Nazi reich up his *****.

No, the better thing is to begin to gather data and stats on the
searches made from IP addresses within the government and publicize
those as well. After all, if they aren't doing anything wrong, what's
the harm? <laughing>

They've already passed a law against lowly citizens digging up and
publishing private info on their political masters. Their Internet searches
would probably fall under that too.

I thought the gubbmint already had that access -- how else did they find
out about Neil Entwistle's and Scott Peterson's incriminating queries.

They got that by looking in the browser history.

Oh, okay. I guess the moral of the story is do a "Remember the last __0__
places visited" in your browser preferences if you ever plan on rubbing out
your family.

From the suspect's own computers.
