Top General: Missile Defense Is Dead, Long Live Missile Defense (Updated) | Danger Room from Wired.com: "Ballistic missile defense as we know it is all but dead, one of the country's top military just declared. But already, there are new anti-missile priorities taking shape.
General James Cartwright, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, relayed the message yesterday to the defense industry. 'Ballistic missiles are about as passé as e-mail,' he said to an audience of missile-defense contractors. 'Nobody does it anymore. It's just gone... no stupid person, enemy out there would be so silly as to come at us with a minimum-energy trajectory. Give me a break. Even the people we would call 'Third World' have gone beyond that.'"
