Missile Defense Thwarted by Rain

A little-noticed story hit the wire yesterday showing that part of the United States’ missile defense system in Alaska would have been unable to intercept just about anything for extended periods last year due to water damage from rain. Oh, and the contractor in charge (Boeing), according to the UPI article, “will most likely still receive an estimated $38 million to repair the silos and a $100 million no-bid contract to build more silos.”

The story is based from releases from our friends at the Project on Government Oversight, one of GAP’s close coalition partners.
