Excerpt:

Missile defense system in Alaska deployed despite lack of testing

11/4/04

BY MICHAEL CABBAGE

The Orlando Sentinel

FORT GREELY, Alaska - (KRT) - Six white domes that open like clamshells dot a rocky, fenced-off field here in the heart of the Alaskan wilderness.

Beneath them, 80-foot-deep silos hold missiles designed to destroy enemy warheads in mid-flight. They represent the first step of a $25.3 billion shield against long-range ballistic missiles and fulfillment of a 2002 pledge by President Bush to field such a defense by the end of 2004.
