"Mr. Brin said he understood the controversy and had discussed the matter extensively with Mr. Page and Mr. Pichai. However, he said he thought that it was better for peace if the world’s militaries were intertwined with international organizations like Google rather than working solely with nationalistic defense contractors."

^ right... better for who's peace lol? At the same time its not very surprising, Eric Schmidt has been in bed with the State Dept. for a while. I do hope in that some of the Google devs get more radicalized as a result.
