OUT OF SIGHT, BUT NOT OUT OF MIND

With regard to Pentagon oversight of activites of war and the upcoming election; Does anyone recall the "Pentagon's Futures Market"?

According to the cited article from the Detroit Free Press, written on, July 29, 2003 by KEN GUGGENHEIM (ASSOCIATED PRESS), "the Policy Analysis Market would be a joint program of the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, known as DARPA, and two private companies: Net Exchange, a market technologies company, and the Economist Intelligence Unit, the business information arm of the publisher of the Economist magazine."

As well, the article goes on to inform the reader that, "Futures markets have proven themselves to be good at predicting such things as elections results; they are often better than expert opinions."
