Abu Ghraib raises issues that will form part of the debate on American military policy long after Iraq is out of the headlines; at the very least, this book provides the information necessary for the public's involvement in that discussion." —Publishers Weekly, October 25, 2004 Volume 51, Number 18 · November 18, 2004 Uncle Sam Is Watching You By David Cole "Data mining," the computerized analysis of extensive electronic databases about private individuals for patterns of suspicious activity, is just one example of the threats to privacy that Americans have faced following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
