Jim's a good man.

I don't know exactly what he has in his possession, but he has some interesting sources given his contacts at the Pentagon.

In the time that I met him a year or so ago, he was involved in some of that consulting work with some AsstSecDef at the Pentagon trying to get them to pay attention.

Apparently someone over there paid a bit more attention than expected.... :0)

But I also think that Koskinen's take has merit. The military's mindset is generally "prove to me that it will work, or I'll have to call it suspect". Just because the military states something may fail, doesn't mean it will. Only that they were not satisfied to a comfortable degree that they could clear that utility.

But the disturbing implications are that certain cities are considered to face inevitable disruptions.

Now the tricky question is, how long those disruptions will last and how big a disruption they will cause.

I'm trying to chase down more info at the moment. Hopefully I'll have something to add by next week.

Regards,

Ron
