this must be what I was refering to, from the link above:<br><br>"In 2002 DARPA stopped funding Jason, in a fight over an attempt by DARPA to impose some new members on the group that they didn’t want. This led to the group getting a new funding source: DDR&E, the umbrella for all defense research."<br><br>So it seems a new funding source stepped in to keep it going.<br><br>I don't think it's such a bad thing, it's above board and in semi-daylight at least. these people have often done a lot of good, or at least helped prevent a lot of bad. being sometimes, it seems, the only sane people in the room that 'officials' will actually listen to.<br><br><br>also from the link (my old friend the Hafnium bomb rears it's head):<br>"Many of Jason’s most successful reports over the years have played the role of shooting down a bad idea (like nuclear weapons as a counter-insurgency tool). For a recent example, see the Hafnium bomb, which is the subject of a forthcoming book entitled Imaginary Weapons : A Journey Through the Pentagon’s Scientific Underworld." <p></p><i></i>
