Hey! He was testifying before a Congressional commitee. He was drunk on the power and importance of the situation and talking "up" to his audience. He was seeking influence, and gave the message that he thought would mark him in good stead with the `august assemblage`. Have you ever been in a car with 4 other people, and stopped by a cop? Did you ever have one of your friends suddenly become "good citizen" and deputize themselves? Same psychology. You find the status-seekers at work like this. They'll make the deals that get themselves promoted. If it is at your expense - maybe you'll find out later. Maybe not. Do not trust the heads of corporations - for the simple fact that their interests are /not/ the same as your own. If they coincide for the time being, understand that this is just another circumstance they will take advantage of. The CEO of /any/ major corporation cares far more about the position and status of CEO than they do any abstract like 'information security' or 'freedom of association'. Do not expect loyalty from the tiger when mealtime arrives. - --Jeremiah Cornelius -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/YrmLJi2cv3XsiSARAs4kAKDOQ5y9mtsRdgnxok1ASZL4SEdW0gCfb2cV c+QBfnFsxAE4eCkJ87nQ8cA= =dCyZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
