Some really solid analysis and evidence here - critical of the ID card
scheme.

Some of the links are into highly respected analysis of identity and the
internet -
great if you're into the technical side - but probably to be avoided if
you're not !

And the main article is non-technical.

In case you haven't seen this already, there is an interesting 
commentary here on the UK ID card scheme from LSE, in this case 
introduced and summarized by Kim "laws of identity" Cameron at 
Microsoft:

The rest of Kim's site is well worth reading if you're interested in 
identity management, privacy, and security issues.
