...team’s findings, published in the Sept. 11 issue of Science, indicate that the fibers are at least 34,000 years old. The earliest-known fibers before the discovery, found at the Dolni Vestonice site in the Czech Republic, date to 30,000 years...
Last Thursday, President Obama announced that he is scaling down plans to deploy a missile shield involving complex Eastern European bases on Polish and Czech ground. The expensive and technologically advanced long-range missile shield will be replaced by a more efficient and technologically feasible system of sensors and interceptors. We believe the decision was a sensible one, especially since the new plan relies on technology that has been tested and proven efficient, whereas the older plan relied on dubious, expensive technology that was still being developed...

What's more, they can perform missions other than missile defense, and they are considerably cheaper. "This system gives us a much more significant and robust capability to adapt to the threat as it actually emerges," Marine General James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Thursday, Sept...
