I call BS. Missiles’ parameters are no secret. Every idiot who has radar and ELINT capabilities is able to measure any possible aspect during tests.

Well said. Sounds like you have some background in SIGINT. Unfortunately it was Ronnie Reagan (AKA "GOD" in some precincts) who first offered to share ABM specs with the Russkis, a fact that the Traitor in Chief will no doubt point out too his critics (i.e. the difference between naivete, in Reagan's case, and treason in Al Obama's case).

As I wrote in an earlier post, this was a negotiation tactic to appease our European “allies” and induce them to support our R&D on SDI. Reagan had no intention of giving useful technical data to the Soviets. In fact, to the contrary, there was an active and very successful disinformation program during the Reagan administration that leaked faulty engineering specs to the Soviets for everything from gas turbines to oil-drilling equipment. This is all well-documented in many books, one of my favorites being Peter Schweizer’s “Victory”.
