Where is the Wall Street Journal , Washington Post, Newsweek and others
that lurk here. Are you publications only interested in selling ad's as
well as the administrations line ?
The WSJ had a large section , not too long ago about the Internet. How
much were they making off that ? I was quoted $85,000 for a full page ad.
Reporters lets not rock the boat. Don't any of you have any interest in
strange bid/cooperative agreement situation. Are you not interested in
the fact that the same group is back in bed again and sleeping soundly ?
If not shame on you. A few at the NSF & Whitehouse think that they are in the
position to spend tax dollars without being accountable - We will see.
In the NSF Press release its says that an exhustive ,,,,etc,etc,etc,
That must mean they went out for lunch more than once while trying to make
a behind closed doors deal with MCI.
My personal comment to the NSF over the way that this deal was handled is not
fit to publish. I do however intend to continue to follow this matter. If you
are tired of FOIA request from Gordon Cook - you will be sick of mine. Every
hear of the Sunshine Act ?
