F44169%BARILVM.BITNET@VM1.gatech.edu (Gerald Steinberg):

  In the interview in the Washington Post which got him fired, Dugan
  talked about a Havenap missile, 50 mile range, 1 ton payload, air to
  ground, launched from a B-52, and Israeli desigend!!  Any truth to
  this?

Yup; in this week's Aviation Week and Space Technology (24 September 1990),
there's an article outlining possible strategies in an aerial conflict.

The Have Nap missile is an inertially-guided conventionally-armed standoff
missile.  There is a picture of a B-52 packing two on a pylon beneath the
left wing.  I don't know what it uses for terminal guidance, but someone
being interviewed for the article said that if Saddam Hussein were sitting
in a truck, and we knew the coordinates of that truck, we could hit him
in the driver's seat.  Or something to that effect.
