The United States is highly vulnerable to attack from electronic pulses caused by a nuclear blast in space, according to a new book on threats to U.S. security.
A single nuclear weapon carried by a ballistic missile and detonated a few hundred miles over the United States would cause "catastrophe for the nation" by damaging electricity-based networks and infrastructure, including computers and telecommunications, according to "War Footing: 10 Steps America Must Take to Prevail in the War for the Free World."
Well, this is just the Bush 43 Admin testing the waters for the next big con after Al Qaeda stops holding water with the American people. Hell, they gotta have something to scare us, right? So, now, all our "enemies" need to do is launch a nuke into orbit and blow it up over us.
DAMN! WE BETTER GET SOME GOOD OLD AMERICAN WEAPONS UP INTO SPACE!
Of course, that would violate International Law thanks to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty|a treaty signed by the US and other world powers back in the 1960s promising to never weaponize space] (well, WMDize space, anyway). But, what the hell, the USG has broken International Law before and no one stopped them. Why should they care about following the law now?
