 Inc. of Sunnyvale, Calif., says it shipped the Internet "filtering"
devices to Dubai late last year, believing they were destined for a
department of the Iraqi government. However, the devices—which can block
websites or record when people visit them—made their way to Syria, a
country subject to strict U.S. trade embargoes.
