Wasn't this why the Pentagon supported DARPA's development of the
Internet?

I swear, I'm convinced more than ever that the U.S. government is
totally incompetent.

You know, when I first heard about Bush's proposal for the "Office of

myself: "Hasn't anybody told Bush that he already has this and it's
called the Pentagon, CIA, and FBI?"
