"The Eavesdropping Debate We Should Be Having"

Op-Ed, The Denver Post

By Bryan Cunningham and Daniel B. Prieto, Former Research Fellow, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs; Former Research Director of the Homeland Security Partnership Initiative, 2004-2005

"Correctly resolving the eavesdropping debate is crucial to our security and to maintaining trust between Americans and their government. "Political" victories - bloodying the president or painting Democrats as soft on terrorism - that ignore outdated intelligence rules will be dangerous for our nation. Nor is the answer to encumber future presidents with harsh new restrictions, or, at the other extreme, to grant them unfettered freedom of action. A real solution will be found only in fixing intelligence rules that were broken long before this eavesdropping scandal broke."

"Data Mine: Stopping Identity Theft"

Magazine or Newspaper Article, The New Republic, issue 4,744, volume 233

By Daniel B. Prieto, Former Research Fellow, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs; Former Research Director of the Homeland Security Partnership Initiative, 2004-2005

"Other proposed solutions that seek to give consumers greater control over the use and sharing of their information-akin to the data privacy rules in Europe-are also problematic. To begin with, the number of organizations already in possession of our data is huge, and, for the most part, we gave it to them willingly. So such an approach is really a rear-guard measure. Like it or not, the level of interest by companies and the government to use our personal data for business, marketing, and national security purposes is enormous, legitimate, and, in many ways, desirable. Given the commercial and government interests at stake, significant restrictions on data use in the United States are unlikely."
