Rumsfeld sued over Pentagon's recruiting database

By Daniel Trotta Mon Apr 24, 3:34 PM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Six New York teen-agers sued
Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld on Monday, alleging the U.S.
Department of Defense broke the law by keeping an extensive database on potential recruits.

The suit in federal court in Manhattan follows a series of allegations last year of misconduct by recruiters, who have experienced difficulty meeting targets because of the war in
Iraq.

The Pentagon last year acknowledged it had created a database of 12 million Americans, full of personal data such as grades and
Social Security numbers, to help find potential military recruits.

The Pentagon has defended the practice as critical to the success of the all-volunteer U.S. military, and said it was sensitive to privacy concerns.
