Official Google Blog: Presidential campaign trail winds through the Googleplex
… we’ve invited all the presidential candidates to come visit our headquarters in California and share their ideas in town hall-style meetings with our employees.In February we were honored to host Sen. Hillary Clinton on campus for the first candidate visit, and last Friday we welcomed Sen. John McCain as our second visitor. We’re flattered that the other candidates have responded positively to our invitations, and we’re working to schedule their visits over the next few months.
Just as the Internet poses interesting policy questions, it also helps empower citizens with more information. So, to help potential voters learn more about the candidates and their views on the issues, we’ve posted the complete, unedited videos of these candidate talks on YouTube. Take some time to check out Sen. Clinton’s talk and Sen. McCain’s (as well as a special interview that Sen. McCain did with YouTube’s CitizenTube).

What? Obama hasn’t been to Google yet? That’s one of those events that seems so inevitable that it’s surprising it hasn’t happened yet.
Obama’s instinctive cautious progressivism will play well at the GooglePlex.
Here’s a hypothetical question for Google employees to pose at the confab: if Larry Page and Sergey Brin offer to let Obama use their 767, will he renounce his “no private jets” pledge?

U.S. Debates Deterrence for Nuclear Terrorism - New York Times
But it also demonstrated that while the first instinct of government officials after an explosion would be to figure out retaliation, “that would probably give way to an effort to seek the cooperation of a Pakistan or Russia to figure out where the stuff came from, what else was lost, and to hunt down the remaining bombs rather than punish the government that lost them,” said one of the conference’s organizers, Ashton B. Carter of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
Wow, this academic comment totally misses the point. What would actually happen if there was a nuclear attack on American soil? Imagine the hurt and anger of the American public, and the utter ruthlessness of the U.S. government’s response. After 9/11, we threatened to bomb Pakistan back to the Stone Age. After a nuclear attack on America, the U.S. government would give possible proliferators at most 30 days to comply with a bulletproof nuclear material control scheme and allow the inspectors in. (And we’re not talking about Mohamed El-Baradei as the head of the delegation!) Anyone who doesn’t comply is going to get bunker-busted. Not saying this is necessarily a good or wise course of action, but that’s by far the most likely course of events.
