Executive director of Western States Legal Foundation, a nuclear
disarmament advocacy organization, Cabasso recently led a "Citizen Weapons
Inspection Team" to the gates of the U.S. nuclear weapons laboratory in
Livermore, California. She is co-author of the recent article "The End of
Disarmament and the Arms Races to Come." Cabasso said today: "While U.S.
officials try to cast the worst light on the UN weapons inspectors'
generally favorable reports, they have prepared contingency plans to use
nuclear weapons in Iraq. This manifests the Bush administration's
increasingly aggressive and unilateral 'national security' policy which
tears down the wall between nuclear and conventional weapons, and
contemplates nuclear weapons use 'against ... emerging threats before they
are fully formed.' While focusing on a speculative and questionable Iraqi
'threat,' the U.S. is actively pursuing 'more useable' nuclear weapons for
use against seven named countries, in blatant violation of the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty. Which country poses a greater threat to global
security? Why aren't international weapons inspectors in the U.S.? Who will
disarm America?"
