From: Earl Weaver (VLD/VMB) <earl@brl-vat> No matter what David Rogers @ sumex-aim thinks, the DoD "review" of all papers before publishing is not to keep information private, but to make sure no classified stuff gets out where it shouldn't be and to identify any areas of personal opinion or thinking that could be construed to be official DoD policy or position. I think it will have very little effect on actually restricting information. As with most research organizations, the DoD researchers are not immune to the powers of the bean counters and must publish.
