Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) urged NIH Director Elias Zerhouni in a letter last month to weigh carefully all comments on the new policy to “avoid any unintended consequences that might undermine the goals of open access and the journals and nonprofit societies that are the backbone of the current research literature infrastructure.”
Sen. Hillary is still an idiot, there are clauses in each grant or contract for NIH studies or any other federal agreement, that guarantee that the results remain within the Federal Government, they can use it any way they choose. The contractor or grantee can also use the research as they choose. Look at the FAR or the OMB Circulars, the government owns what they pay for. Besides what is the "research literature infrastructure"?????

Great rant. Good or bad?
