Joe Barton may be a clown, I don't know. But it is pretty clear at this point the true clowns are the idiots that wrote this terrible legislation. When this is over there will be more people uninsured in this country than there were to begin with.

Hi tejek; So you and Mother Jones are claiming that the warning about privacy was just a comment? That's even more damning than it being in active code. The implication is that the original code was honest about privacy and then someone in the Administration didn't like the warning so it was commented out. That's not exactly the story you want to be pressing here. Now the question is "what did the Administration know about the privacy statement and when did they know it?" -- Carl P.S. You should also ask yourself the question "why didn't the programmer delete the statement instead of commenting it out", LOL. Programmers I know comment out code when they expect that they will have to use it again later. If they know that it's unneeded, they delete it.
