Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a
nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a
"Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed
considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense
initiatives more successful? Can such an application of
science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable,
necessary or impossible?

First of all rshow, hello and good tidings to you. I read
Kristof's piece a couple of days ago and whenever someone
writes of Casey I think of you. Kristof said:
The C.I.A. was terribly damaged when William Casey, its
director in the Reagan era, manipulated intelligence to
exaggerate the Soviet threat in Central America to whip up
support for Ronald Reagan's policies. Now something is again
rotten in the state of Spookdom.
I know that you identify heavily with our poor departed
Bill, that you have good and bad things to say about him, and
I dug out some of what you've said in the recent past ...
Oct 11, 2002 03:40 pm And these men were
intellectuals - Casey, most days, was surely as smart as I've
been on my very best days - - and more widely read.
Oct 12, 2002 10:30 am There is much to be said
against Casey - and Kissinger, too - but they were among the
most brilliant, hard working and successful men of their time
Dec 10, 2002 01:01 pm Me, I'm wondering what Casey
would think, and want - if he looked at things now. He might
think the sort of things going on on this thread were working
pretty well.
Dec 24, 2002 06:24 pm Casey was a "closet
intellectual" - and I was his "experimental animal" in ways we
both understood - and the motivations for the work seemed
sufficient to justify a lot - to both of us...
Dec 31, 2002 08:57 am Casey was doing just the best
he could. And from where he was, the logic that "sometimes you
have to kill people" seemed compelling to him. And to me...
Dec 31, 2002 09:13 am I have a lot of professional
and personal respect for Casey, and the way he did his jobs.
With some reservations, of course.
