Slashdot still doesn’t get it, but it did modify the text on its Department of Justice to read,
The U.S. Department of Justice announced that it had been instructed by the Bush Administration to cease its drive to break up Microsoft, which has already been found guilty of violating U.S. anti-trust law in a complaint filed by the Federal Government and 19 states.
Better than the first time around, but it doesn’t any sense at all to say the Bush administration ordered the Department of Justice to do something, because the DOJ is part of the Bush administration.
That makes about as much sense as saying that the Clinton administration ordered the Department of Justice to proceed with the Microsoft case in the first place.
Still, at least they’re not claiming that the decision came from Bush personally.
