I found the same quote, I interpreted differently. He could have modified the verb created a little. In a friendly way it's open to humor, but it's not damning in the way his antagonists think it is. Gore was one of the politicians who championed the technology we make good use of today, in some aspects of its inception he seems to have played a key role. Isn't that enough? The link I provided is clear and even handed, and if it's good enough for Vint Cerf, it's good enough for everyone else.

He did so around 1996, long before he became the ANTHROPOGENIC global warming monotheist he later became. The video clip of his making the claim is widely available on the 'Net. MarcCould you provide a URL, please? I can't seem to find the video clip.Anthropogenic and monotheist in the same sentence? Kewel.
