> What a mangled version of J. Robert Oppenheimer?s statement.  How pathetic.

Bearing relevance to the current discussion, how about one of his other 
ones :

The open society, the unrestricted access to knowledge, the unplanned 
and uninhibited association of men for its furtherance - these are what 
may make a vast, complex, ever growing, ever changing, ever more 
specialized and expert technological world, nevertheless a world of 
human community. -- J. Robert Oppenheimer

That sort of mirrors the whole idea of "full-disclosure" eh?

(BTW: the original quote wasn't mangled .. the only thing was the extra 
word 'now' at the beginning of it).
