'Weaponization of space' har ikke min store opmærksomhed, men nu da
ABM traktaten fra 1972 er opsagt, så ser det ud til at der fri bane til alt undtaget WMD
som stadig er 'forbudt' ifl. OST fra 1967, eller har jeg misforstået noget ?

On December 13, as President George W. Bush announced that the United States
would pull out of the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty...
Today, President George W. Bush is expected to formally notify Russia that
the United States intends to unilaterally withdraw from the landmark Anti-Ballistic
Missile [ABM] Treaty in six months. He is basing the withdrawal on his claim that
the treaty blocks necessary testing of strategic anti-missile technologies and the eventual
development of land-, sea-, and space-based strategic missile defenses.

"Missile Defense and the Weaponization of Space"
The U.S. withdrawal from this agreement will leave the 1967 Outer Space Treaty (OST)
as the only current legal bar on space weaponization. However, while the OST bans the placing
of weapons of mass destruction in space, on the moon or other celestial bodies,
it has no prohibitions on other weapons systems...
