"So DoD organizations can just switch to SuSE to meet the Common
Criteria requirement, right? Not likely, because -- as one DoD CIO is
reported to have said -- "We don't use that German ****!" As one might
well imagine, the US Department of Defense is an extremely "top-down"
environment, and US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's grudge
against those so-called "Old Europe" countries Germany and France is
reflected at all levels."
