Several Algerian commentators stress their country's vulnerability to attack in the wake of the Malian crisis.
The comprehensive capability to defend against ballistic missile attack inherent in a space-based SDI is utterly incompatible with the concept of strategic vulnerability to such attack enshrined in that 1972 accord.

More importantly, of course, this department should if properly organized, led and utilized do much to mitigate our nation's considerable vulnerability to terrorist attack.
The hope is to flag borderline cases or high-risk patients not spotted by existing tests--like a lean, 40-year-old nonsmoker with an innate vulnerability to heart attack--and target these patients for drugs or lifestyle changes.
It is true, of course, that the case for correcting America's abject vulnerability to ballistic missile attack is being more powerfully made with every passing day.
Secretary Weinberger will also be remembered for the seminal role he played in shifting the national paradigm from one of deliberate vulnerability to ballistic missile attack to one in which anti-missile defenses are part of a comprehensive homeland security posture.
This reduces the window of vulnerability during day zero of an attack.

So far others haven't been able to obtain the necessary keys to decrypt high definition content, and now Cyberlink, makers of the PowerDVD software many assumed was exploited for the attack, is denying vulnerability.
Others take the time transform first, adding to their attack flexibility while increasing their vulnerability.
Sources said the Taliban may have been watching the troops make preparations to depart and launched their attack at a time of vulnerability.
Mr Clarke has long spoken of the vulnerability of the US to a cyber-attack, especially considering the country's reliance on computer networks.
Now the debate is over the extent of the vulnerability, the probability that it will occur, how to reduce the vulnerability, and how to respond to an attack.
But patching the vulnerabilities used for mass infections of sites, which often use automated tools to spread malware among thousands of targets, is very different from patching every vulnerability a hacker could possibly use for a targeted attack on a single victim site.
FORBES: Researchers Say The Web May Be Offering Fewer Footholds To Hackers
Facebook said the site responsible for its attack took advantage of a previously unknown Java vulnerability, which Oracle patched on February 1.
Hackers infected banner ads run by marketing firms such as Germany's Falk Esolutions, causing users who visited certain Web sites displaying Falk ads to download a Trojan horse that steals credit card numbers by exploiting yet another undetected vulnerability in Microsoft's Internet Explorer (a zero-day attack, once again).
Yet, the continuing vulnerability of Web-facing applications made SQL injection one of the most common forms of attack against websites at the time.

Despite this reality, opponents of missile defenses that could prevent such an attack have downplayed the associated risk, and thereby contributed to the perpetuation of our present vulnerability.
