Military-industrial complexes? (Score 1)

I'm sorry, but what on earth are you talking about?

A gentleman's agreement between the respective military-industrial-complexes, really.

Why would any industrial interest *limit* the usage of new, advanced -- read EXPENSIVE -- weapons system? This is akin to Intel lobbying for a law limiting processors to 1 GHz.

Someone on /. always screws up the Geneva Convention angle whenever a military laser story hits the frontpage, though I admit this is a new way to do it...the first Geneva Protocol on limiting weaponry was passed in 1899. I doubt that "military-industrial complexes" even existed then.
