| #9 What if the software was, um, adjusted, so that no matter what coordinate way-points were programmed in by the end-user, they would be overridden by a circular course - i.e. Return to Sender - set? |

| #7 The US and Spanish Navy are thicker than thieves... it's a good thing. Besides the strategic value of 50 THawks not that great. This is late '70s technology. |

| #4 Things like this make me wonder which foggy-bottomed idiot in the higher Pentagon/State department made that decision. Obviously, the Spanish government is no longer friendly to the US and I wouldn't be surprised if they sold us down river. This type of thinking got us into trouble with Iran, Iraq, Soviet Union, China, Central America, South America, etc. You think these people would learn by now. |

| #3 So WTF is the deal here? Are we keeping good relations with the Spanish military in hopes that the appeaser political leadership goes away? I do not get it. |
