Title: SDI: O, what a tangled web we weave

Abstract

The ghost of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) still haunts the Pentagon. The recent relevation that the highly publicized 1984 intercept of a mock Soviet reentry vehicle (RV) was rigged - as part of a highly secret deception plan to mislead the Soviet Union - has raised questions about the integrity and wisdom of defense development and policy processes.
