           Another  interesting  issue  to  contemplate  is  the  Defense  Department's  new
           Policy on non-lethal weapon systems, where "adversaries" and "enemies" have been
           more broadly deftned, as here the use of such systems against American citizens. The
           idea that these systems can be used almost without detection to manipulate the
           behavior and thinking of people raises moral questions. This use also appears to be
           in conflict with Constitutional rights regarding free expression and speech. The fact
           that the military together with the United States Justice Department can now use these
           technologies, under their broad definitions, should sound an alarm for all people, not
           just Americans.313

                  In our opinion, the only redeeming discussion in Low-Intensity Conflict.
           and Modern Technology, (a compilation of papers presented in 1984) was that some
           at the meeting saw the "new" technologies for what they were, and began heated
           debates about the morality of using these weapon systems. In the closing page of the
           technology overview the following was written:

                   "Paul  Tyler  also  discusses  the  application  of  electromagnetic  radiation
           (EMR) to low-intensity conflict. He surveys ongoing scientific research into the
           biological  effects  of  electromagnetic  radiation.  Tyler  tells  us  current  evidence
           indicates that specific biological effects can be achieved by controlling the perimeters
           of electromagnetic radiation directed at human subjects. Thus there is the potential to
           use EMR to control human behavior or even to maim or kill adversaries. Tyler urges
           that  the  United  States  should  devote  considerable  resources  to  exploring  the
           possibilities of developing EMR weapons technology, which could be of particular
           value in low-intensity scenarios. "314

                  It becomes increasingly obvious that the inner circle of the Department of
           Defense placed a substantial amount of effort and emphasis in these areas.

           The writer continued:
                  "Both  Tyler's  and  Ruotanen's  (another  contributor  to  Low-Intensity
           Conflict  and  Modern  Technology)  papers  created  heated  discussions.  Some  panel
           members  questioned  the  advisability  of  employing  nuclear,  EMP  (electromagnetic
           pulse),  and  EMR  (electromagnetic  radiation)  weapons.They  felt  the  ever-present
           danger of escalation would negate any advantage to be gained from surgical ground
           or atmospheric nuclear burst. Some on the panel saw Tyler's article as bordering on
           moral heresy. It is acceptable to have weapons and strategies to blow bodies into little
           pieces or burn them to a crisp, but not to use medical research and techniques to
           develop more subtle ways of eliminating or controlling enemies. There was some
           feeling that any benefit to be gained from research into EMR effects - dangerous in
           itself - might well be overshadowed by indignant outcries against the use of EMR
           weapons on human beings. "315
