by J.M. Lawrence
A Justice Department task force probing FBI corruption has dug up old
documents ``highly relevant'' to an aging Mob foot soldier's bid to prove his
innocence in a 1968 murder, attorneys told a Middlesex judge yesterday.
John Durham of the FBI's special task force would not say what the documents
contain, but he has told both sides in the case involving Peter Limone that
his office will offer attorneys the information next week.

IBM chief warns that privacy abuses could stifle e-commerce
http://www.ocregister.com/business/ibm13cci5.shtml

Associated Press
IBM chairman and CEO Louis Gerstner said Tuesday that the Internet should
lead to more outsourcing by companies as a way to increase business, but not
at the expense of personal privacy.
Speaking at the eBusiness Conference and Expo in New York, Gerstner said
Internet taxation and protection of intellectual property are important
topics, but consumers remain concerned about keeping their information
private.
"Through our policies and practices, industry has to send an unambiguous
message that tells people: 'You can trust us. You have choices. They will be
respected. And you'll know in advance how any information you give us will be
used,' " Gerstner said.

Exon's papers move online starting today

Lincoln - J.J. Exon, who built his formidable political reputation with a
firm handshake, a hearty laugh and impeccable street smarts, is not hiding
his U.S. Senate papers in some musty library vault.
The online Exon Library Foundation will be formally clicked into action today
by the former two-term Nebraska governor and three-term U.S. senator during a
5:30 p.m. reception at the Exon Center, 985 S. 27th St.
To no one's surprise, the correspondence shows that colleagues and presidents
frequently scratched out the formal salutation of "Dear Sen. Exon," to write
"Jim."

Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - A Manhattan gallery owner paid more than half a million
dollars at Sotheby's on Wednesday for two Thomas Jefferson manuscripts, one
of which was featured on the PBS show ''Antiques Roadshow.''
Seth Kaller of Kaller's America Gallery paid $280,750 for a 15-page document
from 1817 outlining Jefferson's ideas for a public school system including
the University of Virginia and $225,750 for a 1783 handwritten letter and
deed sent to Philadelphia historian Ebenezer Hazard.
The Hazard letter was appraised on ''Antiques Roadshow'' in Columbus, Ohio,
in August of 1999, said Lauren Gioia, a spokeswoman for Sotheby's. Both
letters were sold by descendants of the original recipients, Gioia said.

by Ralph Ranalli
In a move that caught lawyers by surprise, a US Justice Department official
said yesterday that documents recently unearthed at FBI headquarters in
Washington, D.C., may shed light on whether a reputed associate of the Boston
Mafia was framed for a 35-year-old murder.
The documents were uncovered by federal prosecutor John Durham, who is
spearheading a probe of the FBI's controversial informant relationships with
gangsters James ''Whitey'' Bulger and Stephen J. Flemmi, said Suffolk
Assistant District Attorney Mark T. Lee.

government database

by Sean Gordon
A third employee at Quebec's car insurance board has been disciplined for
illegally accessing a confidential drivers' license database.
Transport Minister Guy Chevrette confirmed in the National Assembly yesterday
that a man working in a
data-processing unit at the Societe d'Assurance Automobile du Quebec was
arrested after digging up information on his ex-wife.
"The third mole that we're talking about here is a case that's under
investigation that has no link of any sort with organized crime. It's an
individual who is divorced who was looking for his wife," he said.

Santa Claus arrived early at Kelco Inc. yesterday, when federal investigators
returned two truckloads of records taken from the Lexington company seven
months ago.
The haul totaled ``well over 300 boxes of documents ... a little more than
half'' of the 606 boxes seized in the May 19 raid, said Bob Webb, attorney
for Kelco.
``These are the first originals we have received,'' although copies of key
records were given earlier to Kelco, Webb said. ``We are delighted to get
them back.''

Flaherty mentions destroying Bernardo videotapes
http://www.canoe.ca/CNEWSLaw0012/13_flah-cp.html
by James McCarten
The Canadian Press
TORONTO (CP) -- The time is fast approaching when sex killer Paul Bernardo's
notorious sex-and-torture videotapes will finally be destroyed, says
Ontario's attorney general.
Jim Flaherty said Wednesday that the tapes -- which depict Bernardo and
ex-wife Karla Homolka raping and torturing murdered teens Kristen French and
Leslie Mahaffy -- will not be kept forever.
"It's the wish of the families of the victims, and we want to reflect that
wish eventually, when it's clear the tapes would serve no further purpose to
the administration of justice," Flaherty told The Canadian Press.
