Democrats trying to ban low-yield nuclear warhead
By: Joe Gould  
WASHINGTON - A group of Democratic lawmakers have introduced a bill to ban the Defense Department from developing a new low-yield nuclear warhead, arguing it could fuel a dangerous arms race and hasten nuclear war.
The new warhead, for submarine-launched ballistic missiles, would also siphon money from other military needs, said Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., and four other lawmakers who co-sponsored the bill. Smith, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, is a frequent critic of nuclear modernization costs and an opponent of this weapon in particular.
