NATO, Russia in secret talks over missiles: "NATO wants to invite Russia to join in building a massive missile defense shield over Europe, a plan that, for the first time, could bring the former Cold War enemies together for a military project.
Confidential talks between Washington and Moscow on a new concept for the missile shield have already started, NATO spokesman James Appathurai told journalists in London last week. The fresh initiative got under way after both powers signed a nuclear disarmament treaty in Prague this month."
