Websites ordered to dump data about weapons of mass destruction

US government websites are being told to take off-line information about
weapons of mass destruction.

The White House has placed new controls on government information on
nuclear, biological, radiological and chemical weapons.

Advocates for government openness say the new guidelines could be used to
withhold an array of other material as well.

Steven Aftergood, who directs the Federation of American Scientists'
government secrecy project, agrees that cookbook-type material about weapons
of mass destruction should be classified, even reclassified if it's been
released before.

But he says information about weapons of mass destruction also can be used
to advance medical treatment, develop vaccines, facilitate cleanup and aid
other emergency preparedness. "It's important to distinguish carefully," he
said.

In a memo, White House chief of staff Andrew Card ordered federal agencies
and departments to take a look at their record management procedures and
public documents and report back within 90 days to the Office of Homeland
Security.
