US Pressures Poland to Accept Sovereign Missile Base

HeadlineJul 28, 2006

This news from Europe — the Polish government is expressing concerns over a US plan to establish a missile base that would be immune from Polish control. The Bush administration is insisting the proposed site be designated sovereign US territory. Poland would have no legal authority over the base and would not be informed of US missile tests. The base would be the sole European site to host the Bush administration’s controversial missile defense program.
