both the general and personalized type of plo filing and -- profiling and targeting that currently exists i had the pleasure of working with the "the wall street journal" on a couple of stories recently regarding how companies or how personalize profile consumers information about consumers in order to one example was a story about how certain car manufacturers will, for example, profile consumers by name by e-mail address directly, and kind of track when you can kind of send a note to the.pro dealership to see a car. the dealership, the service will be able to tell the dealership all of the cars you looked at, what model, what color, how frequently and how often. when you go on to the dealership, the dealership already knows. the dealer standing there the car salesman knows your preferences and what you're looking for. and so if you want to get to a market exchange. you're willing to pay the dealership knows you like the red model. you looked at it ten time. that's the one they want. they can stick on the price. that makes an unfair interaction between you and the marketplace. you and th

we also have a story here, heldale on the congressional hearing producing plo shocker on benghazi -- produces shocker on benghazi. it says, kudos to the members of the house foreign affairs committee for squarely placing benghazi on the table at today's hearing. with secretary of state john kerry, john kerry's answers were nothing less than shocking. what we learned is that state is conducting yet another internal review of benghazi, initiated by kerry himself. immediately after taking office and allegedly due soon. this amounts to a huge entitlement of the credibility of kerry's predecessor, hillary clinton, and of the investigation by the state department's accountability review board. clearly even john kerry is not confident in the obama administration's versions of the verns -- events. kerry promised the committee that he would clear the air, in his words, though he also repeatedly used the phrase that clears the air needs to be done so we can move on to far more important issues. and i am so grateful to secretary kerry for taking that position. we do need to get to the truth. de
