Reno Gets to Meat of Carnivore

Attorney General Janet Reno vowed Thursday to check on why it has taken so long to begin the review of the FBI’s Internet-wiretap system called Carnivore, a program that has raised privacy concerns.

Reno said she has asked Justice Department officials to work with the FBI in selecting the appropriate experts to review the computer program’s source code. "If there is any disagreement, then I will resolve it," Reno said, adding that she ultimately will be responsible for the review.
