All this week, NPR's Morning Edition [2]is reporting on the current status and the future of the $60 billion anti-missile defense program. On Monday, correspondent Mike Shuster [3]turns to Ploughshares Fund President Joe Cirincione [4]for answers to exactly what the missile defense program is designed to protect against. Tuesday, Cirincione tells Shuster that the system simply does not work. "If we were to have a realistic test this year, next year, it would fail. It would fail catastrophically," he says.
