REDZIKOWO, Poland Tomasz Czescik, a Polish archaeologist and television journalist, walks his dog each morning through a forest near his home here on NATOs eastern flank, wandering along the edge of a green chain-link fence topped with razor wire.
He enjoys the fresh air and morning quiet until loudspeakers on the other side of the fence, strung with Keep Out signs in Polish, English, German and Russian, start blasting The Star -Spangled Banner at high volume.
I dont know anyone who has ever been inside there, Mr. Czescik said, pointing across the fence toward a cluster of haze-shrouded buildings in the distance.
The fence is the outer perimeter, guarded by Polish soldiers, of a highly sensitive U.S. military installation, expected to be operational this year, which Washington insists will help defend Europe and the United States from ballistic missiles fired by rogue states like Iran.
