Italian leftists on proliferation

Agenzia Giornalistica Italia - News In English: “Rome, Italy, Sep 12 - ‘The US opted for the deployment of tactical nuclear warheads in the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks; their effective battlefield use still requires that a few taboos be broken. What better help in that sense than to spread rumours that Al Qaeda possesses former soviet nuclear weapons which are already located in Italy [...]. In short it’s all about pretending the false one is a real threat so as to legitimate the use of existing arsenals’, says The PRC party’s Gigi Malabarba, speaking as a Senate member of the Intelligence Services Watchdog.”

In other words, those who have already proliferated are considered a far greater threat than those who might do so in the future.
