Do you suppose we have the capability to shoot down an ICBM? Cruising around the area with a high powered laser mounted on a plane, you could put your laser on the fuel pump, or whatever a rocket has, ignite the fuel, blow up the rocket and have it look like a malfunction.

Was reminded of some Discovery Channel program I saw by a radio program that mentioned this subject.

If we do have this ability, how long before it makes the front page of the New York Times? This would be something that makes the current administration look good, so they would be loathe to print it. This is also the sort of thing the public deserves to know, just in case the government decides to turn it on San Francisco or something.
