As you know, I have huge respect for USG natsec folks. But there are (at least!) two flavors of them: 1) the cautious, measure-twice-cut-once sort that have carefully managed deterrencefor decades, and 2) the “fuck you, I’m doing Iran-Contra” folks. Which do you expect will get in control of such a program ? It’s not immediately clear to me which ones would.
