"Rumsfeld to use long range rockets in war on terror"

Condensed translation from sueddeutsche.de (for a comment see РИА - no worries, it is in English):
The US-defense department plans to replace nuclear warheads on submarine based missiles with conventional ones. Opposition from Russia.
At a meeting with Russian defense minister Sergej Ivanov at Fairbanks, Alaska, on Sunday, Rumsfeld prompted Moskov to align with the plan, which is opposed by Russia and parts of US-congress.
Critics warn that the launching of a conventionally equipped trident-rocket could be mistaken for a nuclear attack and provoke a counterstrike.
Rumsfeld dismissed the argument. The US would inform about the conversion in "full transparency" and leave no room for miscalculation. Moreover "everybody" in the world would know 30 minutes after an impact that the rocket did not carry a nuclear warhead. However, Ivanov reissued the objections of his gouvernment against the US-plans.
[And than it goes on about Rumsfeld being concerned about North Korea to pass on WMD and ballistic rockets].
