Missile Defense Agency Faulted On Testing and Accountability:
"A congressional audit of the Bush administration's efforts to build a nationwide defense against ballistic missile attack warned yesterday that the system, due to be fielded later this year, will be 'largely unproven' because of a lack of realistic testing. The report, by the General Accounting Office, said that the eight flight intercepts attempted so far have been largely 'repetitive and scripted,' and that critical parts of the system have yet to be flight-tested together."
