55. Here's an interesting snip from the Rumsfeld Commission
Pre-911 thinking?

Pge 94

"History is replete with instances in which warning signs were ignored and change resisted until
an external "improbable" event forced resistant bureaucracies to take action. The question is
whether the US will be wise enough to act responsibly and soon enough to reduce US space
vulnerability. Or whether, as in the past, a disabling attack against the country and its
people-a "Space Pearl Harbor"-will be the only event able to galvanize the nation and
cause the US Government to act."

This was banging the drum for RAD in 2000.
