National & International News Briefs

Deutch plea-bargain? Former CIA director John Deutch is negotiating with the
Justice Department over the possibility that he might plead guilty to a
misdemeanor for keeping classified information on his home computers, says
the Washington Post.

US, Russia back off: "The Bush administration is signaling a new, more
arm's-length relationship with Russia. And Russia is signaling back that it
will look elsewhere for friends," says the Christian Science Monitor. Later
in the story, "George W. Bush told the New York Times he would concentrate
on cooperating with Russia on nuclear safety and checking the spread of
weapons technology, but otherwise would reduce financial assistance and
leave Russia to find its own way out of its economic troubles."

Russia halting cuts: In response to what Russia sees as "hawks" taking over
the US missile defense program, Moscow has decided to halt its military
cuts, according to the London Guardian. Russian President Vladimir Putin's
plan to reduce the military by 360,000 personnel and shift focus from
strategic nuclear missiles to conventional forces will be shelved.

Attn, travelers to Russia! "A chill is creeping over Russia's academic and
journalistic communities as the implications of a key treason trial launched
by the security service sink in: Almost any piece of information
communicated to a foreigner could land you in jail," says the Christian
Science Monitor.

China warns neighbors: China has warned India and Pakistan against entering
into an arms race, but avoided direct criticism of New Delhi's latest test
of its intermediate-range Agni ballistic missile, says the International
Herald Tribune.

Supercomputer exports: The Washington Times is concerned that continuing
relaxation of export controls means that supercomputers are heading for
"Russia, China, and other nations that do not have the best interests of the
United States at heart."

On government spies:. Since 1975, half of the spies arrested in the United
States have been government employees, says a GovtExec.com story. The
experts quoted agree that "espionage and intelligence collecting are on the
rise, despite the end of the Cold War."
