Fifty people taking part in the Holy Week Faith and Resistance retreat in Washington, D.C, took their nonviolent witness to the Pentagon early Good Friday morning, April 10. Dressed in black robes and white masks to symbolize the war dead, retreatants silently processed to a solemn drumbeat around the south side of the Pentagon. Some signs read: Put Away the Sword, Remember the Victims of War, Abolish All Nuclear Weapons, War Never Again, while others displayed facts about the U.S. nuclear arsenal.
Consider four facts related to North Korea's development of nuclear weapons - the accumulation of weapons-grade plutonium before 1994, the 1994 agreement which froze the plutonium production program, the start-up in the late 19905 of a separate uranium enrichment program, and the termination of the 1994 agreement in 2.002.. Better from this point of view to rally allies and isolate North Korea until it disclosed and dismantled all nuclear weapons programs.
A draft permit that restricts what can be in storm water that flows from Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL) is the midst of an extended public comment period. On April 13, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will close off comments from the public, agencies and organizations, and later publish a summary of those comments and EPA's responses. The stormwater discharge permit, which outlines benchmarks for pollutants and measures for controlling runoff at the nuclear weapons laboratory, has been in the works since 2004-one of several facts that disturb the Taos-based river advocates, Amigos Bravos. "This is taking way too long," said analyst Rachel Conn, of Amigos Bravos. One factor, according to Amigos Bravos, that renders the permit moot is the existence of 1,400 sites identif...
Have President Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney committed impeachable offenses for which the duumvirate should be convicted and removed from office by duping then-House Majority Leader Richard K. Armey into supporting legislation authorizing war against Iraq with twin lies: that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had personal ties to Osama bin Laden's terrorist network; and that Saddam had miniaturized nuclear weapons, which could be unleashed by employing al Qaeda as a delivery system? The facts - uncontradicted by either Mr. Bush or Mr. Cheney - are chronicled in Barton Gellman's new book "Angler.

James T. Hackett in his article ("Weighing a strike on Iran," Commentary, yesterday) argues that a pre-emptive strike against Iran's nuclear weapons production facilities could be prevented "if the U.N. agrees to apply meaningful sanctions" against Iran. Yet, while Mr. Hackett is familiar with the facts regarding Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, his knowledge of the weaknesses of international sanctions is severely lacking. In 2002, North Korea admitted violating the agreed framework, put forth in 1994 by the Clinton administration, under which Pyongyang vowed to refrain from reprocessing nuclear weapons-grade plutonium if it was permitted two nuclear power plants to generate electricity.
Some facts, figures and observations about the nuclear weapons threat: -- There are 25,000 to 30,000 assembled nuclear weapons in the world, more than 90 percent of them in the United States or the countries that made up the Soviet Union, said Matthew Bunn, a researcher at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.

Much has been written and argued about what Israel can do to effectively address Iran's nuclear program, which Israel views as a credible existential threat. Most Israelis believe that Iran is determined to acquire nuclear weapons and remain skeptical about the prospect of a diplomatic solution to neutralize the Iranian threat. What has largely been missing from the Israeli public discussion is an analysis of the circumstances under which an Israeli attack on Iran could take place. Israel's defense doctrine is based on the premise that no enemy should be able to muster the capability to threaten Israel's existence with impunity, and all measures must be taken to avert and neutralize such threats. As Israel and the US close ranks about Iran's nuclear problem, the two allies appear to be ...
