"'My understanding is it's going to be terminated,' Wolfowitz told members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He added that while the Defense Department was supposed to be imaginative, 'it sounds like maybe they got too imaginative' with the online futures market plan." (Reuters)

"The last time DARPA got too imaginative, we wound up with the Internet." - William Gibson.
