14. Thank you LandShark ~ while I'm not as informed as others here
regarding these issues, I was disturbed by the possible connection of voters' rights activist groups and Choicepoint. I asked a few questions and was attacked and compared to Fidel Castro. This convinced me that someone has something to hide.

I never did get a response to my questions however.

Of the few people who were defending Choicepoint at least one, imo, is sincere and did attempt to answer Autorank's questions.

Wouldn't it be better to cut all ties to Choicepoint, rather than alienate large numbers of supporters? Attacking those who are understandably upset by these revelations will do nothing to inspire confidence in the organization. People with ethical motives do not attack those who question, they discuss and answer the questions.

Greg Palast has earned our respect and trust. The very existence of companies like Choicepoint was news to most Americans and the cause of justifiable outrage.

Thanks to Greg Palast for taking the time to address these questions ~
