Dave -
I agree with Stephen that the use of adwords in this fashion is not
good. But, do you understand that CERT is not "the government" or
"DOD"?
They get money from the feds, but so do many organizations, public and
private. And, I think I'd want to understand if any government money
went into these training materials before invoking omb circulars.
So, good point on the sleazy ad techniques, but I think that applies
to all organizations. And, I'm not sure what is wrong with the
SEI at Carnegie Mellon offering training. It isn't that unusual
for a major university to offer classes, and universities have long
"competed" with private seminars in this arena.
Regards,
Carl

Seems to have worked already: Google "SANS Training" does not return
an ad for the CERT/SEI course.
