on an only somewhat related note, I'm much more troubled by the fact that reporting these numbers is currently illegal, than by the fact it's occurring, and I'm surprised more people don't express a similar view. that's because i can imagine situations (e.g., FBI identify a child trafficker) where i am okay with his privacy being compromised. but I can't for the life of me come up with a scenario where it benefits society to hide these statistics. for crying out loud, tell us how much data you're looking at!
