Thanks-- I was eager to read your thoughts on the subject.
The Pentagon press office posted a full transcript of yesterday's briefing (which included a general, an ambassador, and the NASA Administrator). I plan to read it through quite soon (I'm at a con and I have a panel tomorrow).
The other suggestion, that the plan is to deny the prospect of sensitive components from reaching the ground intact, is possible but I suspect less likely.
General Cartwright denied this explicitly, in the fragment of the briefing I caught on C-SPAN.
