FYI, without any political endorsement or disdorsement (what is the word
for the oppositive of "endorsement")?

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has been concerned about so-
called "cybercrime" for more than a decade, so it makes sense that the
agency would have a useful site dedicated to providing the concerned
public
with information about its efforts to combat such crimes. Provided by the
Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) of the DOJ, this
site offers information about the recent activities of the CCIPS, along
with
various documents, such as the current manual that lists guidelines for
electronic search and seizure investigations. First-time visitors may want
to start at the top of the homepage, as they can go ahead and search the
entire site by keyword, or look through a few thematic areas, such as
those
dedicated to hacking, intellectual property crime, and information about
cyberethics. Finally, the "General Information" area of the site provides
details on how to report Internet-related crime and employment
opportunities
with the CCIPS. [KMG]
