The Defense Department's matrix of potential threats identifiesthree categories of unconventional danger: "irregular" threats suchas terrorism and insurgency; "catastrophic" threats involvingweapons of mass destruction; and "disruptive" threats wheretechnology breakthroughs deprive America of military advantage.There are, however, some important gaps in the logic of the newdefense paradigm.
