Report: New arms race not in offing
Well, I guess if common sense doesn't support your policy, then you just get one of your hand-picked departments to write up a report to reflect what you want to support your policy.
It's been working for them for years, why stop now?

Ending ban on low-yield nukes won't harm nonproliferation, Bush team says
By Ian Hoffman, STAFF WRITER
The Bush administration argues in a new report that lifting a decade-old ban on low-yield nuclear weapons development poses little or no harm to U.S. efforts at discouraging the spread of nuclear arms abroad.
In delivering the report to Capitol Hill last week, the nation's top nuclear-weapons executive wrote that "there is no reason to believe that repeal has had, or will have, any practical impact" on other nations' pursuit of new nuclear arms or on international efforts to discourage those pursuits.
At worst, wrote Linton Brooks, head of the National Nuclear Security Administration, ending the ban "will slightly complicate U.S. nonproliferation diplomacy."
