#3 Phil-
You're absolutely right, but let me point out Clarke's Law: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguisible from magic."
In Iraq, the locals thought that wraparound sunglasses were x-ray machines. They thought we had miniaturized air conditioners in our guys' uniforms. They believe that our satellites can see through roofs and bunkers.
Let the press call it a force field. Let the bad guys believe it. It's one more arrow in the quiver.
