Names of Advisors Cleared To Access ACTA Documents

Posted by kdawson on from the who-sees-what-you-can't dept.

Turns out, according to James Love, hundreds of advisers, many of them corporate lobbyists, are considered 'cleared advisers.' The list looks a who's who of captains of industry."

    I searched and searched for the "flamebait", and then realized that the mod is one of the loons to which I was referring. Anybody who mods your post down as flamebait is either intentionally abusing the mod system, ignorant as to what constitutes flamebait, or a true loon.

    Note to everyone: Flamebait does not refer to a post you don't like and find controversial. It is solely for posts where the poster posted for the sole intention of creating a Flame War. (Google Flame War)
