Excerpt:
"Ultimately, the U.S. may need huge databases of commercial transactions

would be interested. Acxiom could build this mega-scale database."
This email discussion was happening at the same time (Dec. 2001 through
Oct. 2003) that presidential wanna-be Wesley Clark was on Acxiom's board
and was a highly-paid lobbyist for the company:
