Polish democrats challenge BMD: "Here's the latest news from Poland:

WARSAW, Poland: A member of Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski's government called Saturday for Poles to be allowed to decide whether their country should host part of a planned U.S. missile defense system.

'I am determined that a referendum is needed to determine whether this is to be the nation's will,' Andrzej Lepper, a deputy prime minister and agriculture minister, told a news conference.

Although it is unlikely a referendum on the decision will be held, Lepper's suggestion reflects Polish unease at having such sites in the country.

Polish leaders have said they are willing to talk with Washington about the issue, but that any decision would have to be made by parliament.
It would be a good thing, needless to say, if the Polish people were given a real opportunity to express their views on their government's BMD plans."



(Via No BMD, eh?.)
