I do not remember who said but it under the Bush jr. administration
and they said that the missile were hack. This was reported at the 
end of Bush jr first term.

Also, if a person works in the R&D for a missile, you know the paper 
work a person signs keeps that person from giving too many details, 
unless they would like to be charge with Treason.

Yes, outdated.  The gov't wants their young fighter who are great at 
video-game war to use be remote controlled missile. A few can act 
like 100s of fighters, but that has been hack.  So, the gov't now into 
pattern recognition, where a missile is given a set of pictures, etc. and 
let that puppy go hunting.  The system would pick the first, if 
possible do it job, if not goes find the second on the list, and 
so on through the list until the job is done or the list is empty or its 
out of range then it self-destruct to keep the technology from the wrong 
hands. 
The idea is to kill the CEO and its "board of directories" with a few 
"stock holders" to boot and no more war with little to no passer-by 
being hurt. Just a "Nice and Clean" kill.

But pattern recognition will never be 100 percent. And the general 
public say no to this technology because this type of killing is 
inhumane. War is suppose to be messy not clean and it over quickly.
The clean type of war allows a war to last 10, 25 or even a 100 plus 
years. And the people were are fighting now would love a 100 years 
war, they would win in the end because the world will turn against us 
by that time.

But lets get back to Ada. because this is Ada's newsgroup not a weapons 
newsgroup.  And weapons are only one of many things that Ada can be 
great at, if its allowed to be. If people start creating libraries instead of 
just binders for other languages.
