Science
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?

Justice Dept. Drafts Sweeping Expansion of
Anti-Terrorism Act - http://www.publicintegrity.org/dtaweb/home.asp
(WASHINGTON, Feb. 7, 2003) -- "The Bush Administration
is preparing a bold, comprehensive sequel to the USA Patriot
Act that will give the government broad, sweeping new powers
to increase domestic intelligence-gathering, surveillance and
law enforcement prerogatives, and simultaneously decrease
judicial review and public access to information. The Center
for Public Integrity has obtained a draft, dated January 9,
2003, of this previously undisclosed legislation and is making
it available in full text. The bill, drafted by the staff of
Attorney General John Ashcroft and entitled the Domestic
Security Enhancement Act of 2003, has not been officially
released by the Department of Justice, although rumors of its
development have circulated around the Capitol"
