Maybe Bush will be impeached for this: White House Says Web Site Counts Visitors.
The White House said Friday its Web tracking technology is consistent with federal rules because it only counts the number of visitors anonymously and doesn't record personal information.The discovery (about web "cookies") and subsequent inquiries by The Associated Press prompted the White House to investigate. David Almacy, the White House's Internet director, said tests conducted since Thursday show that data from the cookie and the bug are not mixed — and thus [the] 2003 guidelines weren't violated.
"The White House Web site is and always has been consistent with the OMB guidance," Almacy said, adding that the limited tracking is common among Web sites.
The AP is probably recommending the White House go back to using typewriters. Oh wait -- that may not work since Dan Rather and Mary Mapes insist that certain type settings can be used to create certain documents, despite the difficulty in finding such. Oh well.
Maybe the geniuses at the AP could recommend Internet surfers use a good spyware detection/erasure program, a good anti-virus program, and to delete cookies from their web browser often.
