ARTICLE: U.S. and Allies Warn Iran Over Nuclear 'Deception'
Over
, By DAVID E. SANGER and WILLIAM J. BROAD, New York Times, September 25, 2009

I always love the term "deception" in this regard. After decades of secretly building up our nuke stockpiles and secretly sharing info with friends (while spies secretly took them to our enemies), we now lecture others on the secrecy and "deception" of their programs.

Naturally, we don't hold Israel to any such standard.

Is there such a thing as a "good" nuclear bomb or "good" nuclear power? Or do they all seem to use the capability for similar ends?
