They were using that understanding to create mechanical flies which would operate as surveillance cameras, feeding information to the military.

If the US could send mechanical flies into every single home/cave/bunker/whatever, they could get all the info they need to find the terrorists and take them out.

I don't know how this would get people killed, though, if anyone knew about it.
How is the food from where you are sitting?

I guess we'll know who had the right theory in this thread when one of us mysteriously "goes away".

I'm too smart to work for them.

Not to mention, too moral.

I hope Woodward is right (he usually is) and it kills a lot of terrorists. I haven't followed this thread closely. Has anyone said that? It should be said.
