The "Switchgrass is cool, dude" article I posted above mentions it, and also includes a link to a Platt's story about it (provided by Bart in yesterday's DrumBeat).

They include links to previous discussions of the GAO report.

Oh, and this link explains what the GAO is.

GAO stands for the Government Accountability Office. Until recently, it was known as the General Accounting Office. It is the investigative branch of the U.S. Congress.

Your Government is accountable?

To Who?

Now, now. Tony doesn't want twats like you suggesting the US Government is any way less accountable than his very own.

Please, think of the special relationship! Good God man, are you suggesting any thing sordid? :)

Mudlogger, are you an owl? :-)

I know this is pedantic but it should be 'to whom?'
