The Washington Post has rather more detail about the Carnivore
review.
Justice has already contacted MIT, UCSD and Purdue.

And this:
""This sounds to me like they are trying to select a rubber stamp,"
said David Banisar, senior fellow of the Electronic Privacy Information
Center, a Washington-based advocacy group. "There is grave danger in the
Justice Department getting to choose who is going to be the independent
outside reviewer. . . . Justice has been just as supportive of this
process as the FBI so they are two peas in a pod here.""
If the Department of Defense were making the selection, I'd worry a
bit
about universities having a conflict of interest. But are that many
institutions beholden to the Department of Justice that they'd get a
"rubber stamp"?
