Yes you are... such a cynical young man...

And I completely agree. The Osprey debacle seems to be heating up and they need some good news.

Now a non-lethal weapon like this would be just the ticket for situations like Somalia

It sounds like it's that acoustic weapon I've heard the DOD has been working on. It uses a specially timed injection of combustible fuel in a chamber that then directs the concussive force like an audio speaker in a specific direction.

And lookee here... It appears this weapon is so secret that they've set up a number of web sites into distracting us from the weapon they are actually producing... :0)

And guess what, even "Human Rights Watch" knows about it (back in 1999 even... :0):

hrw.org

And even some academics/lawyers in Australia know:
