@emptywheel Right. It's also unclear whether Nacchio's claims abt being shut out of lucrative govt contracts are true. Not v credible person -
@TimKarr Did you see this post? http://www.emptywheel.net/2013/06/08/why-is-us-government-intrusiveness-on-network-defense-less-than-on-prism/ … Very interested in language abt Commerce there. -
@emptywheel Interesting. I can ask some folks with experience there. -
@TimKarr TY. I just really get the feeling Commerce is being used as carrot/stick for toobz cooperation where it has leverage.
