pop quiz. Name three of the last 20 Commerce Secretaries. Heck just name two.

Norman Mineta and Carlos Gutierrez.

Would I have been able to do that without Wikipedia? No. But hey, just because we don't know their names doesn't mean they weren't important! Most people can't even name all the presidents.

"during his 10-year tenure, Thompson is credited with growing Symantec from a small company to one of the leaders in Internet security "

Small company??? Symantec (PRE-Thompson) era was in the top 3 of largest software companies in the country.

I tried to make it clear that those doing the crediting were "folks other than me." Click on "widely reported" to see one example.

What scares me is Thompson believes in outsourcing.

This is a purely anecdotal (i.e., 90% BS) observation on my part, but I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any American CEOs who don't believe in outsourcing at all.
