Charles Cooper: Silicon Valley’s China syndrome

Charls Cooper, the executive editor of commentary at CNET News wrote this article on CNET:

Just when you thought politicians in Washington, D.C., could not be more out to lunch, here come House members Henry Hyde, Duncan Hunter and Don Manzullo to prove that stupidity should be reclassified as a contagious disease.

Hyde, Hunter and Manzullo have successfully pressured the government to begin a review of the sale of IBM’s PC business to China’s Lenovo on national security grounds. Who knows? Maybe the U.S. market will be flooded with notebooks that default on boot-up to readings from Mao’s Little Red Book.
