Into the Matrix.(Insider Report)
Before resigning as Utah governor to become head of the Environmental Protection Agency, liberal Republican Michael Leavitt signed up Utah's 2.4 million residents for a pilot program called MATRIX (Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange). That program, reported the January 29 issue of Salt Lake City's Deseret Morning News, would create a mammoth database "that gathers dossiers on every single man, woman and child--everything from birth and marriage and divorce history to hunting licenses and car license plates. Even every address you have lived at down to the color of your hair."
Leavitt "never bothered to reveal details of the program to Utah citizens or state lawmakers who, upon learning of the program ... are now worried that the state could be involved in a program that jeopardizes basic civil liberties."
"I am concerned our governor signed us up without ever talking to us, the people of the state," complained Utah state Senate Minority Whip Ron Allen, a Democrat. "If what i have heard is true, then I am concerned about our liberty and our privacy. It is a national identification card without ever carrying it." "It certainly sounds like Big Brother to me," agreed state Senate Majority Leader Michael Waddoups, a Republican. "l want to find out where the origin of it is in our state."
