U.S.: Russia Permitted To Conduct Nuclear Inspections
Stratfor Today »-->October 14, 2009
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the United States is prepared to permit Russia to inspect its nuclear facilities, DPA reported Oct. 14. Russia would be allowed to check compliance under this arrangement, Clinton said, and in return the U.S. hoped it would be allowed to inspect Russian facilities. Clinton stated that the U.S. wants to create a system of control. The deal would form part of the new strategic arms reduction treaty being negotiated between the two powers.

So, 'trust and don't verify' seems to be the order of the day.

I got a great piece of advice once..."hope is not a strategy". It applies here.
