Oh, I don't know about claiming these are unreasonable assumptions.
I believe that the CIWS on a CG could effectively repel an attack by a terrorist armed with nothing but a CAT-5 cable. In fact, I'd pay to watch it.
Also, I'd say that predicting that there will be a violent event on the international stage in the timeframe of the next one month to five years is a pretty safe bet.
So I'd say that rense.com seems pretty solid. Sure they hate America and are blatantly antisemitic. But terrorist + Phalanx = red mist is an irrefutable law of physics.
