<<the recent hits to Microsoft and Worldcom have some political baggage, no?...do you know what Bernie Ebbers' campaign contributions have been over recent years and to whom? Seems to me the handwriting is on the wall for disapproval of the GMST merger - the political problem being the mergee.>>

Actually, I do foreign policy rather than domestic policy, and national security rather than economic related stuff, so I have no special expertise in either the general area or specific issues you raise. That said, I think you might be taking an overly cynical and/or conspiratorial view. Certainly there are some decisions and policies that are driven by direct or indirect corruption and/or special interest lobbying, but not all are, and I would want significant evidence about individual cases before levying such a charge. JMO, of course.
