FTC 'Opts Out' of Spamhaus Input

Brian McWilliams writes in the Spam Kings blog:

I haven't yet finished reading the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's 116-page Report to Congress on the 2003 CAN-SPAM Act. But I've already spotted a conspicuous omission.

The FTC conducted wide ranging interviews with scores of smart people. (Transcripts of some of the interviews are available online.) Yet for some reason, Spamhaus director Steve Linford was not among those interviewed. Nor was Spamhaus cited once in the agency's report.

Ask any spammer, "Who's done more to make your life difficult, The Federal Trade Commission, or Spamhaus?" I'm pretty sure the spammer won't say the FTC.
