What about the Department of the Navy that initially funded it?  I
wonder if it was pointed out in these meeting that it was the DoD that
wanted this in the first place through the Office of Naval Research
and DARPA?

Though clearly consistency and taking responsibility fo r their
actions are not high points of US Gov't policy...
