US to Rehabilitate Nukes

"The Bush administration is planning a secret meeting in August to discuss the construction of a new generation of nuclear weapons, including 'mini-nukes', 'bunker-busters' and neutron bombs designed to destroy chemical or biological agents," reports the Guardian.

Documents outlining the proposed Summer meeting of the US Strategic Command were leaked to the Los Alamos Study Group, a New Mexico-based nuclear disarmament organization. LASG has issued a press release which breaks down what the documents say.
