McGrory On Missile Defense

Ah. Mary McGrory on missile defense. I think that's what the column is about. But she's got her WaPo-NYTimes talking points down for sure, since EVERY topic must somehow be tied to corporate scandal (and then to the GOP).

That's just surreal to me.

I have a graduate degree in national security studies, and when I think of experts on missile defense, it's funny, but McGrory doesn't come to mind. I think of my old mentor JD Crouch, who's now back in DC at DoD's ISP shop. I think of Bill Graham. I think of Hank Cooper. I think of Pete Worden. I think of Greg Canavan. All of those are real experts in policy, physics, space -- and all of those are people I've had the pleasure of engaging in an academic setting.

And then there's Mary McGrory rambling on about a topic she knows very little about. Hell, she ought to have a weblog!

Surreal, I tell you.

Speaking of Ambassador Cooper, he has a column over at NRO on missile defense. And unlike Miss McGrory, he actually knows something about the topic.
