In Ukraine, the head of the U.S. Missile Agency was met with protest Wednesday as he defended plans for the controversial U.S. missile shield in parts of Europe. Lt. Gen. Henry Obering was speaking to journalists when several protesters heckled him. Demonstrators held anti-nuclear signs and chanted slogans before they were removed from the room. The Bush administration wants to install a battery of up to 10 ballistic missiles in Poland and a radar facility in the Czech Republic. Recent polls show majority opposition in both countries.
