I read similar things (tactical nuke performance and EMP effect) in last week's
NewsWeek magazine.  I also recall that Fuel Air Muntions were used to
good effect in one of the boat/hostage crisis (either the Pueblo or the
Mayeguez, I can't remember which). 

I am not a weapons scientist and I don't play one on TV, but I sure do
hope the FAM's are that good.  I would rather see a lot of dead Iraqi's
with nose bleeds than loose a lot of US soldiers rooting Iraqis out of 
bunkers using LAW rockets and bravery.
