Could you please suggest where these political opinions are being
repeatedly expressed, and by whom? If you're talking about the
discussion under the "Program wants to work with SUO documents"
thread, we are trying to understand the involvement of a secret
US military project in an international, "professional and open"
project. I realize you do not have any problems with this, but
others do. And this has nothing to do with politics.

Trying to censor discussion of the issue with messages of this
sort won't make it go away. It might make the people.
