Rumsfeld Urges Russia on U.S. Nuke Plan

FAIRBANKS, Alaska — Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld made his strongest public case Sunday for a plan, opposed by some in Congress and by Russia, to convert some Navy long-range missiles from a nuclear to a conventional role for potential use against terrorist targets anywhere in the world.

Opponents of the plan argue that it could create a situation in which a conventionally armed U.S. Trident missile, launched from a submarine, would be mistaken for a nuclear launch, thus risking the possibility of a retaliatory nuclear strike.



Reports of the end of the cold war have been greatly exaggerated. I need to stop and think and find out how I feel about that.
