Bush Administration: Track & verify NUCLEAR WEAPONS? Nah! - R.I.P. START Treaty

[jackstraw45]

On one hand, the administration wants us to believe that a nuclear weapon could end up in the hands of terrorists.

THEN, we read that the administration and Congress are letting the START nuclear treaty lapse

"We don't believe we're in a place where we need have to have the detailed lists (of weapons) and verification measures." Assistant Secretary of State Paula DeSutter

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States plans to let a landmark nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia expire in 2009 and replace it with a less formal agreement that eliminates strict verification requirements and weapons limits, a senior U.S. official says.

This would continue President George W. Bush's practice of repudiating arms control as a means of curbing nuclear weapons while relying more on countermeasures like export controls, interdiction and sanctions.
