  WATCHDOG BASHES GOOGLE, HEALTH IT STIMULUS
  [SOURCE: CongressDaily, AUTHOR: Andrew Noyes]
  Consumer Watchdog, a newcomer in Washington privacy circles that has 
been pressuring Google to enhance the privacy and security of its 
various Web applications, slammed the Internet giant Tuesday for 
allegedly lobbying to allow the sale of electronic medical records in 
the latest version of the House economic stimulus legislation. In a 
letter to Congress that was also sent to President Barack Obama, 
Consumer Watchdog asked for the removal of what it perceives as 
loopholes in the package's ban on the sale of patient data and to 
include other privacy protections currently absent from the 
legislation.
