Subject: NASA.GOV SQL Injections

FWIW my experience with NASA, while limited, has been equivalent to many
large private sector organizations. The rank and file people, including
Directors and Assistant Directors, are intelligent, conscientious people
who run headlong into uncaring, frustrating upper management bureaucrats 
who cannot or will not listen to their input. Also, because the organization
is broken up into several regional and sectional groups, political rivalries
have developed that get in the way of organizational goals. Like I said,
same thing as corporate America: politics as usual. 

"We are the people our parents warned us about."
