Directed energy weapons

I want to start a discussion about directed energy weapons. So if you have any news or info on these weapons please post. Also I would like to here your opinions on DEWs.
DEWs= lasers, particle weapons, microwave beams, EMP weapons, etc.

I'll see what I can find jetsetter, but I do think if you read the HAARP threads, you will find some interesting url's given for such technology.
