    Guess we’re about to find out which sacred cow the US worships more, the military or corporate money.

    I’m not holding my breath on which it is though

    Oh what’s that? The thing I’ve been warning about for decades, turns out I was right AGAIN? Well “good” I guess, and we’ll learn from this and kill the spyware industry now right? Ah of course not, you just want to control it, yup how could I think otherwise…
