The Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty Is Obsolete
[ Wall Street Journal] Rep. Jane Harman - If claims by Iran that it's building 3,000 more centrifuges to enrich nuclear fuel are true, then the Bush administration and Congress face a more serious challenge than we first thought.

Rep. Jane Harman (D-Cal.) is chair of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information Sharing and Terrorism Risk Assessment.
