US Activates Missile Defense Amid North Korea Concern
By Will Dunham

Tuesday 20 June 2006

Washington - The United States has activated its ground-based interceptor missile-defense system amid concerns over an expected North Korean missile launch, a US defense official said on Tuesday.



This strikes me as a highly ill concieved political manuever. If Korea does indeed launch a missle, there is virtually no chance our 'intercept' will work. The only succsesful tests to date have been to 'intercept missile that we knew the exact launch times and trajectories of that had no decoy or other evasive capabilities.
