Letter: Stealth missile

Published 3 February 2001

From David Bennett

Why is George W. Bush proposing to squander billions of dollars of American
taxpayers’ money on “Son of Star Wars”
(20 January, p 14)?
Hasn’t anyone told
him that it would be useless against the most likely weapons delivery system to
be used by a rogue state: a shipping container on the back of a truck?
