It’s important that they do. A handful of scientists saddled up like ghostbusters is less likely to stop a nuclear attack than simply stating publicly that we have a defense.

Good point. But disseminating information like this could cause those who wish to do us harm (muslims) to plan a way to work around the stated defenses as well. I’m glad they are there.

...exactly. It's good to try to detect threats, when those threats are already occurring. But it's also like fishing with a few hooks in an ocean. And trying to scare the enemy away in order to buy time might help a little, too. The War won't be won by way of civilian prevention attempts. It's an attempt to take over the world and dominate it for one religion. The War can only be won by destroying the enemy's will to fight--not by hoping that the enemy will eventually be distracted from or forget his goal.
