   If Google were not Google congress wouldn't touch this- it's a stunt, IMHO. Why not look at Microsoft's purchase of aQuantive which includes a major ad agency (AvenueA/Razorfish)? This is a real conflict as they will now be competing with their agency advertisers for clients.
   As far as I can tell the Doubleclick deal does not include any agency properties. It is an natural expansion for a media company to acquire another technology, not a monopoly. There are many ad servers out there.

   Congress must not be getting a cut!
   
   Either that - or double click is how the FBI and other agencies install spyware onto PC's and they couldn't have that compromised.
   
   I wonder if we'll get arrested in the future for our words against 'The Government'.

   They're only doing this to compete with Microsoft(R) Congress(R). Neither company is very concerned with OpenCongress or FreeCongress, which have lately had very few active developers.
