| #6 A. If thats teh andrew cockburn I think it is, hes a far leftie and unreliable source B. If it IS true, its about making the weapons safer, mainly. The odds of the nukes creating a problem through a f**k-up are at least as high as their actual use. C. I would VERY MUCH HOPE that this was accompanied by intelligence gathering. D. I dont see how a simulation program could render the weapons non-functional. |

| #5 "Modernizing" sounds like a great way to steal their weapon cores & replace them with radioactive medical waste. One could only fantasize about American spies brave enough to try it. |

| #4 The article talks about computer simulations in place of actual tests for "stockpile management". If we had a CIA worth a damn, we would provide the Paks with a simulation program that looks really spiffy but would actually make sure the nukes don't work. Too bad we don't have such a CIA, they're too busy undermining politicos. |

| #2 I would think that a program such as this also provides good information for us. We should know as much as possible about every aspect of the Pak program should certain events occur. Some people might like to if they should cut the red wire or the black one. ;-) |
