Thanks for the info. Nice pics of the Raptor! When I posted this I was hoping for some more info on these projects.

As far as Miller's credentials go, I was alarmed to see a mention of Ithaca college in his resume. Obviously he's a leftist if he writes for Counterpunch, but I'm not sure if he has to be a fully paid-up member of what Eisenhower called "the military-industrial complex" to be entitled to an opinion on how his tax dollars are spent. At least pieces like his provoke a debate on the subject, even if he's wrong on almost everything.

Oh, he is entitled to an opinion. But the opinion itself is not entitled to be heard if it is completely wrong. My complaint is with the media, who assume that an opinion is valid BECAUSE it is contrary, not because it stands up on its own. Some people are of the opinion that the Earth is flat. They have that right. But do we really need to have a debate about it?

I reiterate, not all opinions are valid, or worthy of inclusion.

My opinions on brain surgery, for example, would not be valid.
