a classified, $250 million war game in which small, agile speedboats swarmed a naval convoy to inflict devastating damage on more powerful warships.Apparently discussing classified documents when American sailors are at risk isn't a problem at the NY Times.

"a classified, $250 million war game in which small, agile speedboats swarmed a naval convoy to inflict devastating damage on more powerful warships." Actually, it looks life the author of the piece lifted his article from the pages of the The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb. Nassim devotes almost an entire chapter to the Millennium Challenge 2002 exercise. Most likely this is where the author of the article got his information. I have absolutely no doubt that the so called "journalist" did any more research than that - this is the NY Slimes that we are talking about here.
Unfortunately, I can't find my copy of the Black Swan, or I would check to see how much the good "journalist" lifted from it.
