David J. Camp:
   I do not perceive that the government is favorable to our efforts,
   regardless of the moral quality of our actions.

Parts of it are favorable.

It is a mistake to consider that the government has any sort of unity
of purpose, or moral cohesion.

   To further demonstrate their hostility to our principles, consider
   the manipulation of the media during the recent massacre.  The
   media was only given information that suited the government.  The
   military even boasted of purposeful misinformation regarding
   amphibious activities.

Hmm... yes.  Actually, I thought it was obvious that that's what they
were doing even before they did the boasting.

Anyways, that's the purpose of the military: hostility.

   The administration has made no substantial action toward freedom of
   information.  It is public knowledge that Internet sites are being
   criticized for the distribution of unsuitable material.  -David-

True.

On the other hand, there's things like NIH, and DARPA...
