Choicepoint Roundup (1 March)

  • KnobBoy, demonstrating that the new media can do research, points out that Choicepoint execs didn’t trade like that before.
  • In an AP Interview, Choicepoint CEO “Smith said he believes his company is as much a victim in the episode as the roughly 145,000 Americans whose personal information may have been viewed by criminals.”

  • Finally, today’s Two Minutes of Snark comes to you via Wizbang.
