  Some news organizations have been bedeviled by the details:

• $2 Billion Bomber Sits in Wings -- Washington Post, Wednesday, February 18, 1998; Page A01 [An otherwise excellent report, that incorrectly describes the 5000-lb GBU-37 as currently operational.]
• Precision weapons: how smart? @ BBC - [A generaly balanced reports, but a real-audio interview with the Boeing JDAM program manager leaves the incorrect impression that JDAM is operational.]
• America's High-Tech Arsenal @ CNN [Rather skimpy reports on JDAM and JSOW leave the incorrect impression that these weapons are widely deployed and in general use.]
