the White House used its new $1.7 million computer database primarily to coordinate President Clinton's contacts with top political supporters. The taxpayer-funded computer system, nicknamed "Big Brother," has been used to manage Clinton's "early supporter outreach" in conjunction with the Democratic National Committee and his campaign, the documents show. Appropriations laws prohibit the use of federal funds for campaign-related purposes or for purposes outside the appropriation. Insight broke the story on the sophisticated Clinton database, which had 487,440 files on individuals and groups by June 27 and was created on the orders of the president and first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, the White House documents show. Sheesh. I wonder if the Clinton's ever repaid the gov't for the cost of this database? Wouldn't bet on it. -------------------------- Meanwhile Bush critics are up in the air about alleged (mythical?) violations of "our freedoms" that they can't even describe.
