bowWAVE, I believe the evidence of Inman's political persuation would put him in good standing with the current administration and position him to be of better value to Wave under the current political status quo.
Remember the words of another outcast from the previous administration, Richard Clarke:
Clarke, as Special Advisor to the President on Cybersecurity, spent his last year in the Bush Administration focusing on cybersecurity and the threat of terrorism against the critical infrastructure of the United States. At a security conference in 2002, after citing statistics that indicate that less than 0.0025 percent of corporate revenue on average is spent on information-technology security, Clarke was famously heard to say, "If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, then you will be hacked. What's more, you deserve to be hacked."
