		They don't like the idea that so many details of their lives—the places they go, the things they buy, the magazines they read, the e-mail they send, the medicine they take—could be available for the government to peruse at will.

		Poindexter testified that he had made a "very deliberate decision not to ask the President" about the diversion of missile profits to the contras in order to "provide some future deniability for the President if it ever leaked out." He further stated that Reagan would have approved if he had ever been asked.
		Poindexter testified concerning Oliver North's activities (see card #13) that "I never believed...that the Boland Amendment ever applied to the NSC staff."

	No future for Poindexter? - Jul. 30, 2003
		Yep, Poindexter is about to serve as an example of how accurately a futures market can predict future events -- the very idea that he was espousing.
		Poindexter's is an all-or-nothing contract, meaning that it pays out its full face value (100 points or $10) if Poindexter hangs on through the end of August, and zero if he doesn't.
		Because Poindexter's contract has just launched, theory says that it probably isn't accurately forecasting his present chances staying at his post just yet.
