I completely agree and would add that the flipside of this is that other governments (for example, in Europe) take this as a proof that ICANN is just a puppet organisation used by the US government to "control" the Internet.
Gee, here we go again. None of this should be a surprise to anyone who's been paying attention. ICANN's authority, such as it is, comes from its US government contracts.
