An Internet privacy group has filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests at five executive branch agencies in a bid to gauge the Bush administration's commitment on a range of privacy protection issues during its first 100 days in office. In filing the requests, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) said it wanted to test President Bush's campaign promises to give every American "absolute control over his or her personal information."
