Just an interesting link to pass along.
Battle for the electromagnetic spectrum: "The Secret History of Iraq's Invisible War" - Boing Boing
"In the early years of the Iraq war, the U.S. military developed a technology so secret that reporters mentioning the gear were promptly escorted out of the country. That equipment - a radio-frequency jammer - eventually robbed the Iraq insurgency of its most potent weapon, the remote-controlled bomb. But the dark veil surrounding the jammers remained largely intact, even after the Pentagon bought more than 50,000 units at a cost of over $17 billion. Recently, however, I got a chance to go inside this invisible battle for the airwaves. I went inside the lab where they're building what could amount to the ultimate weapon of this electromagnetic war. And I saw how the high-tech tools developed to win that fight have been largely neutered by Afghanistan."
