Theodore Postol. Hmmm. I am doing a google search and I see that he is an expert in engineering, physics, ballistics, missile technology, and national security policy. Wow! That's a big plate for someone with a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics. web.mit.edu Was Postol a "top Navy science advisor in the Reagan administration"? His MIT bio says: >>He held post-doctoral appointments in solid state science at Argonne Laboratory from 1975 to 1980, was an analyst in the Office of Technology Assessment from 1980 to 1982, an Assistant for Weapons Technology in the Pentagon from 1982 to 1984, and from 1984 to 1989, Senior Research Associate at the International Strategic Institute at Stanford University. In 1989, he joined the MIT faculty.<< >> His work covers a broad range of topics in international security policy, including studies of missile basing modes, nuclear attack, missile-bearing submarines, and the consequences of secrecy in military research. His current work focuses on the relationship between changing military technologies and the altered international security situation.<< I don't know about you but I don't put a lot of credence in physics Ph.D.'s who think they know everything about everything. I am familar with type. They are usually too arrogant to realize that their brilliance is limited, which is just another form of ignorance. Do your other sources say that missile defense CAN'T work, or that reports of success are exaggerated?
