When the DEQE called a meeting at the State House with Harvard’s lawyers to schedule a hearing so the case could be reconsidered, about 15 Brookline and Boston residents barricaded the meeting room doors in protest. After capitol police were summoned and the meeting cancelled, it was held by telephone with Harvard threatening to take the governmental agency to court if its permit was denied...
...system works. The Pentagon plan originally called for 20 tests by 2009 to prove that a new fleet of interceptor rockets could find and destroy missiles fired toward the U.S. But a revised testing scheme to be delivered to Congress this summer--and outlined in budget documents circulating on Capitol Hill--cuts back that schedule to only nine test shots.

...That's not surprising, say coalition chiefs, urging patience and projecting confidence. Saddam had years to practice the art of concealment, but the truth will eventually come out. Banned weapons will be found, insisted Secretary of State Colin Powell on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. Britain's prime minister Tony Blair made the same assurance to Britons. And President Bush last week suggested that the banned weapons may even have been destroyed ahead of the invasion, but added that the U.S. would nonetheless eventually prove that a WMD program had existed...
