Rumsfeld orders Missile Defense October 1, four weeks before election?

So that's where Rumsfeld has been hiding! Busy little beaver, isn't he?

Interesting LBN thread by DUer papau about this, here:

Rumsfeld Directs Missile Defense to Operate Oct. 1(w/o proof it works)

WASHINGTON — U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has quietly ordered elements of a long-range missile defense system to begin operating on Oct. 1, four weeks before the 2004 presidential election, according to a U.S. military official (see GSN, July 2).
