This reminds me of what Robert Bowman said about the Strategic Defence Initiative, that the great danger of weapons to take out Soviet early warning satellites would be that the Soviets would not be able to tell the difference between a freak accident and a US pre-emptive attack. The fear then is that the Soviets could jump to the wrong conclusions and launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike because they thought the US was about to do the same. So Scneier's blog is down and we can't tell if it is a freak outage or if it is an outside party. Scary times.
