Talk:Lexington Institute

The following comment was relocated from Lexington Institute. There is no link attached as to its origin. However, the item provided sufficient curiosity as to stimulate exploration and creation of a file on Directed Energy Weapons, which should contain enough information to support the quote in spirit if not exactly.

Also of note should be that nearly 80 to 90% of all quotes (research, speeches, testimony before Congress/with Congressmen, and interviews with media) in support of DEW comes from the Lexington Institute ..... Loren B. Thompson and Dr. Daniel Goure ... who are also "coincidentally connected" with the Intelligence Community ...
