Informative article I caught linked at Instapundit. Seems to be a better postured article on the theme than any I've seen in the MSM. This line starts the article and gave me a laugh.
The rest of the article talks about the FUD related to the whole space weapons discussion and essentially points out that there is far less activity in that field than the MSM would lead you to believe.
On November 8, Russian president Vladimir Putin obliquely warned the United States to not start a “space arms race”. His words, addressed to “some nations” but unambiguously referring to the US, denounced those “seeking to untie their hands in order to take weapons to outer space, including nuclear weapons.” He then complained about “stagnation in the sphere of disarmament, which is far from out fault”—referring to previous Russian proposals for banning space weapons.Hmm. Could this be interpreted as "You're building space weapons and I can't afford to develop them, so you should actively push for treaties that will keep us even."
