freedom of navigation operations

• Law of the Sea Treaty Clarification

Doug Bandow's column on the Law of the Sea Convention ("Law of the Sea Treaty," Op-Ed, Wednesday) contains misleading claims. Mr. Bandow argues that the convention will not aid the Navy's freedom of navigation and quotes Adm. Michael G. Mullen, vice chief of naval operations, to support this point. However, in the Oct. 21, 2003, Senate testimony Mr. Bandow cites, Adm. Mullen testified that the Navy supports the convention precisely because it aids freedom of navigation. True, freedom of navigation is already customary international law, but treaty law is stronger than customary law, and codifying freedom of navigation makes states less likely to challenge the right. The Navy also supports the Law of the Sea Convention because it underpins the Proliferation Security Initiative, a U.S.-le...

• Chinese Missiles Can Ravage U.S. Bases ; Report Cites 5 Sites in Asia

China's military can destroy five out of six U.S. bases in Asia with waves of missile strikes as the result of its large-scale military buildup that threatens U.S. access and freedom of navigation in East Asia, according to a forthcoming congressional report. The main implication of China's improved air and conventional missile capabilities is a dramatic increase in the [People's Liberation Army's] ability to inhibit U.S. military operations in the region," a late draft of the report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission concludes.

• Reagan and Gadhafi ; U.S. Responded Forcefully to Threats

Twenty-five years ago this past Saturday, US F-14A Tomcat fighters from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz shot down two Libyan Sukhoi fighter-bombers that had attacked the U.S. aircraft over the Gulf of Sidra in the Mediterranean Sea. Press coverage at the time criticized President Reagan because he was not awakened and notified of the military action, leading many to conclude this was yet another instance of the president being detached from important events. As with so many other myths about Ronald Reagan, the facts tell a very different story. Given Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's welcome and more moderate policy approach of recent years, some may not remember just how bellicose Libyan statements and actions were in the 1980s. Col. Gadhafi had drawn a purported "Line of Death" in inter...
