If there ever was a case of killing the golden goose, the current controversy over the USA's Defence Advanced Research Project Agency must rank as a prime example. The value of this agency and the current political peril it faces are reviewed in this article, which also explains how the UK is affected by DARPA. As an incubator of tomorrow, DARPA takes some beating, and it would be shameful [albeit typical] if it should be damaged as a result of the political process.
