Well they don't tell you which 2 percent either. For all we know "only 2 percent were successful" and yielded launch codes... or "only 2 percent were successful" and yielded next weeks lunch schedule. Big difference on which 2 percent:). On Fri, 17 Jan 2003, jnull wrote:

But, I'm sure they'll float any articles they can to get congress to allocate more funds to the cyberpanic squad--go go big brother. Not too mention, the news whores are always a willing accomplice in fabricating hype. Oh wait, is today cynical Friday? --jnull
