U.S. Expands Nuclear First-Strike Policy
22 February 2002

John Bolton, the U.S. undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, announced Feb. 21 that the United States is abandoning its longstanding pledge not to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states.

The rest of the article is at STRATFOR.com, which you can only access if you're a paying subscriber. But it doesn't say much more. I didn't notice this reported elsewhere. Did anyone else?
