Report: Obama to Raise Bar for State Secrets - Political News - FOXNews.com: "Under the new policy, agencies will have to convince Attorney General Eric Holder and a team of Justice Department lawyers that release of certain information would significantly hurt 'national defense' or 'foreign relations,' The Washington Post reported, citing two senior Justice Department officials."

Obama Defends Decision to Shelve European Missile Shield - Political News - FOXNews.com: "'The decision announced today by the administration is dangerous and short-sighted,' the Arizona Republican said. 'Not only does this decision leave America vulnerable to the growing Iranian long-range missile threat, it also turns back the clock to the days of the Cold War, when Eastern Europe was considered the domain of Russia. This will be a bitter disappointment, indeed, even a warning to the people of Eastern Europe.'"

How does changing how we protect eastern Europe make America vulnerable?
