Get a grip, Jim.  Nobody's endangering anybody by
discussing the capabilities of commercially-available
electronic toys.  The publishers of Jane's know far more
about this stuff than we'll ever crowbar into a Usenet
posting, and you can bet Saddam Hussein's been subscribing
to Jane's since he was just a little dictator.

Dangerous secrets are marked so you can't mistake them
for common knowledge, and I haven't seen any of those
here.

Anyway, he probably knows the insides of every weapon we
have, having got the info from the salesmen who work for
the manufacturers of those weapons.

It's also pretty apparent that he's completely incapable
of anything resembling effective military activity, anyway.
I don't think it will hurt us to let him know the exact
coordinates of the target on which he's standing.
