Bush Creates Anti-ID Theft Task Force
President Bush has ordered the creation of a new federal task force to battle identity theft. After hearing what he called "horror stories" from victims of the crime, he told reporters he wants federal agencies to ramp up their efforts. The task force aims to coordinate the work of a dozen federal agencies that either hunt identity thieves � or help those whose personal info is stolen.
