Powell: Iran Far From Nuclear Weapon
2007-11-19 20:29:00 Iran is far from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and despite U.S. fears about its atomic intentions, an American military strike against the Islamic Republic is unlikely, former Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday. Tehran rejects claims by the United States and some European Union countries that its nuclear program is aimed at secretly producing weapons, insisting it is for peaceful purposes only. "I think Iran is a long way from having anything that could be anything like a nuclear weapon," said Powell, who was invited by the National Bank of Kuwait to speak on economic opportunity and crisis in the Middle East. A recent report by the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog found Iran has been generally truthful in the information it has provided the agency about aspects of its past nuclear activities. But the International Atomic Energy Agency said it could not rule out that Iran had a secret weapons program because of restrictions Tehran placed on its inspectors two years ago. Asked i...
Islam Forbids Nuclear Weapons: Tehran Friday Prayer Leader
2007-11-15 02:44:00 Informed Comment: Global Affairs The USG Open Source Center translates a Friday sermon by Ayatollah Emami-Kashani asserting that nuclear weapons are forbidden in Islamic law and that Iran is not trying to get them. "In Iran, the person who is a mufti, who has the right (to issue) fatwas, who is recognized as a jurist and is the leader of the community -- he who is the highest authority in the nation and is our eminent Leader [Ali Khamenei] -- has made it abundantly clear, as have others, that the destruction of nations, any nation, women and children, large or small -- the massacre of innocents is wrong. The same is true of the atomic bomb and atomic weapons. The very idea of an atom bomb is forbidden, the very deed is a sin. The foremost authority in this country, one who is in a position to issue fatwas, in political affairs, and in decision-making processes has stated it explicitly. Nevertheless, the enemy says you want to make atom bombs. It is like the other things they say -...

Daalder and Holum: U.S. Should Aim for World Free of Nuclear Weapons

Nearly 20 years after the Cold War ended, the time has come to make a concerted effort to verifiably rid the world of all nuclear weapons.

Nuclear Weapons - The Spear Of Evil
2007-09-28 23:53:00 Whilst most people are aware of how powerful nuclear bombs are, i don't think many people see the bigger picture, for you see the nuclear weapons that were tested in the 1940's were like grains in the sand compared to the nuclear weapons that have been made in the past decade, and i think most people should keep in mind, at all times, what the general public is allowed to know about military weapons, etc etc in every western country is always 10 years old information, this is not speculation, this is fact, most military sects do not release information into the public domain until it has been built, refined and perfected, and then xyz years down the road we are told about them ... If they decide to tell us about them.Because as we have moved 21st century government military secrecy in terms of what the public is and is not allowed to know is starting to become a very gray line.

2007-09-24 14:51:00 Nuclear weapons carrying bombs equivalent to the force of 10 Hiroshimas were flown across the United States through a series of blunders and mistakes by air force personnel. The August 30, 2007 flight was kept secret by the Air Force until web sites reported the incident and then chaos ensued as the military tried explaining away the ill fated flight. It appears the bomber was not even guarded while it was on the airfield. A former B-52 bomber pilot who flew nuclear bombs wrote an angry response to the episode. “I’m not sure where to begin. I’m outraged and embarrassed. Back in 1979 we had to sign for nuclear weapons and verify serial numbers, the security posted two guards at the aircraft, the cops maintained two man maintenance crews to the aircraft. What the hell happened here?” There is obvious need for serious re-evaluation on the part of the air force.
