Unclear on the Concept Award

According to the SFGate, critical information regarding Air Force One's missile defenses and vulnerable spots was posted on a public website. This is, of course, a bad thing. The information was in the process of being removed as the story went to press.

However, the story includes this comment:

"Having information about a target's countermeasures does two things," said Daniel Goure of the Lexington Institute. "It gives you an opportunity to choose a different weapon and to choose a different attack style ... perhaps choosing to launch a salvo attack, or choose a missile that uses an active beam."

(emphasis mine)

Gee thanks! Now I know that to overload the defenses of the Presidents plane, I just need to fire multiple missiles or choose a radar guided missile for my attack. Nice job, Mr. Goure, for mentioning these facts, and kudos for the Chronicle for including the quote!

Morons!

In a better world, he would be a plant giving out precisely the right hints and hoping for the best.
