Old news. It existed before then but was used by the military. AL 
was just one of many, including Newt Gingrich, who pulled for 
the internet as we know it today. It  wasn't created by a single
person who took the initiative. 

As with the dog medicine story, there was originally an element of
truth, but AL used "truth" as a starting point for creating his own
grandiose reality. 

Now calm down and vote for Bush, or else write in Xona.
