LOS ALAMOS, N.M. - There is a new breed of weaponry fast approaching — and at the speed of light, no less. They are labeled "directed-energy weapons," and they may well signal a revolution in military hardware — perhaps more so than the atomic bomb.

Directed-energy weapons take the form of lasers, high-powered microwaves and particle beams. Their adoption for ground, air, sea, and space warfare depends not only on using the electromagnetic spectrum, but also upon favorable political and budgetary wavelengths too.

Isn't this against international law ? ... and the agreements signed by the USA in the 80's and 90's ?

And more to the point ... how much control do you really have over the people that direct these weapons ? America isn't democratic any longer ... who are we going to entrust these weapons to, in order to make sure that they aren't eventually used against us ?

More to the point-
HOW MANY FRIGGIN THREADS IS THIS IMBICILE GOING TO POST THIS ARTICLE IN?

I count three so far.

It's a week old and yet he seems to think he's the first to announce the second coming or something.

What sort of mental illness does he have that he can't see what an utter jackass he makes of himself?

At least I know that I'm an asshole...

This is the first I've read of it, but that's awesome. Can't wait till the US is frying people from space.
