"Do-it-yourself" Cruise Missile Designer Turns Freelance
"Bruce Simpson of New Zealand, the designer of a homebrew cruise missile as reported here, has been left destitute by hastily-imposed restrictions of his national authorities, and is now offering his services to any non-terrorist willing to provide room, board, travel, expenses, and a negotiated rate. There is no question that cruise missile, UAV, bio-warfare, chemical weapons technology, and probably nuclear technologies will all continue to fall in cost significantly for the foreseeable future."

2. Google News search shows NO NEWSPAPERS covering this
Edited on Sat Jul-10-04 12:51 PM by RandomUser
He made the news last December in demonstrating he was able to construct a cheap cruise missile with parts ordered over the internet. Since then, he's been forced into bankruptcy and on June 28th, he posted on his website that he is now offering his services to the highest bidder. I did a google news search on the news.google.com database dating back to the time of his announcement in June 28th, and NOT A SINGLE NEWSPAPER OR NETWORK is covering or reporting this with the exception of this slashdot article from last night.

A man able to make cruise missiles from cheap online parts just offered his services to the highest bidder because he was forced into bankruptcy by political pressure from the U.S. on the New Zealand government to shut him down. And not a single journalist is covering this!
