Now that the US and Russia are about to sign a new treaty to reduce their nuclear weapons arsenals, the story behind the negotiations is starting to surface. Global Security Newswire carries a lengthy and detailed story, citing several sources, that shows the extent of the two presidents’ involvement – interesting reading, and let’s see what else comes out in the next few weeks. The GS Newswire also carries an article on US President Barack Obama’s efforts to make sure Senate ratification of the treaty is not mired in the kind of bipartisan politics that made the new health care legislation such a  battleground.

Rather oddly, the New York Times is credited with some information that was available first on the White House web site, which was quick to post details once Obama and Medvedev spoke last Friday, 26 March, a refreshing change after the months-long news blackout by both sides, during the negotiations.
