Nato allies have been looking at various missile-defence options for some time. Nato itself is developing protections for our deployed troops. ↗

Were this not Texas, were there not a state where there were no protections at all and where the law was clear on that, I think CBS and Mary Mapes and Dan Rather and all of us had a very good chance of winning. So this is an ongoing battle about an issue of principle. ↗
