Missile Defense

Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a "Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense initiatives more successful? Can such an application of science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable, necessary or impossible?

ultimately TRUTH outs : TRUTH has to be morally forcing : build on TRUTH it's a strong foundation

Cuba Cubed - Guatemala

The two Geneva Conventions dealing with prisoners of war and with civilians together provide clear guidance as to how the legal status of the detainees should be determined.

I'm off to mill around with, and get ignored by, large numbers of people. The National Conference on Media Reform has 1400 attendants - some who are pretty angry at the mainstream press. If the matter comes up, I'll talk about the towering good faith the mainstream press often show, as well - and the need to preserve the necessary relationships that are in place.

Probably nobody will be interested. And I have no status whatsoever - and no institutional connections.

But it'll be fun to go and listen.
