Terrorist-Catching Con Man
Interesting story about a con man who conned the U.S. government, and how the government is trying to hide its dealings with him.
For eight years, government officials turned to Dennis Montgomery, a California computer programmer, for eye-popping technology that he said could catch terrorists. Now, federal officials want nothing to do with him and are going to extraordinary lengths to ensure that his dealings with Washington stay secret.
