Trust, But Verify
There is literally nothing interesting about that phrase.
UNMOVIC Compendium and Lessons Learned
Not long after I “blogged about”:http://www.totalwonkerr.net/2272/10-years-ago-unscr-1441 UNSCR 1441, I remembered “this compendium.”:http://www.un.org/depts/unmovic/new/pages/compendium.asp
10 Years Ago: UNSCR 1441
November 8, 2002. The UN Security Council adopted “Resolution 1441.”:http://www.un.org/Depts/unmovic/documents/1441.pdf
It had something to do with Iraq’s WMD programs.
ACW on Nuclear Weapons Accidents
I like to post primary source documents about proliferation. But Jeffrey has posted a bunch in a really outstanding “column”:http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/10/30/nightmare_on_nuke_street?page=full over at _Foreign Policy_ which describes a bunch of nuclear weapons-realted accidents and near-misses that have occurred over the years.
On this blog, I refrain from making policy recommendations, but I can make an exception in this case:
bq. There is no reason to believe the apocryphal story about the British Army choosing red uniforms because they do not show blood. But after 60-odd years of nuclear accidents, incidents, and whatnot, I can recommend that the STRATCOM commander consider brown pants.
Definitely check it out….you can augment your document collection whilst giggling.
