The sleazy tidbit from the article:
------
The Grocery Manufacturers of America this week inadvertently sent an internal e-mail to CASPIAN suggesting it was looking for embarrassing information about the group's founder, Katherine Albrecht.
The e-mail, written by a college intern at GMA, reads, "I don't know what to tell this woman! 'Well, actually we're trying to see if you have a juicy past that we could use against you.'"
The intern earlier had asked Albrecht to produce her personal biography, "as part of an RFID research project," and became frustrated when Albrecht asked what GMA planned to do with the information, according to GMA spokesman Richard Martin.
------
The article tries to give a positive spin on the outcome, suggesting that the embarassment might cause the GMA to work more closely with CASPIAN. I'm more cynical than that and would bet that the mumblings about "maintaining a dialogue", etc are purely for show.
