The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is a United States Department of Justice law enforcement agency tasked with combating drug smuggling and use within the US. Not only is the DEA the lead agency for domestic enforcement of the drug policy of the United States (sharing concurrent jurisdiction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation), it also has sole responsibility for coordinating and pursuing U.S. drug investigations abroad.
Jane C. Horvath is Google’s Senior Privacy Counsel. In August 2007 Ms. Horvath joined Google and serves their interest full-time. Well, why did the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) sue the U.S. Department of Justice for documents between the DOJ and Google?
According to EFF: “Jane C. Horvath was named the DOJ’s first Chief Privacy and Civil Liberties Officer in February of 2006. At that time, Google was fighting a massive DOJ subpoena asking for the text of every query entered into the search engine over a one-week period. The DOJ request — part of a court battle over the constitutionality of a law regulating adult materials on the Internet — ignited a national debate about Internet privacy.”
