 U.S. shuts Web site said to reveal nuclear guide: NYT
 2 hours, 33 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government has shut down a Web site it 
set up in March containing documents captured during the Iraq war after 
arms experts and officials raised concerns it offered a guide to 
building a nuclear bomb, The New York Times reported on Thursday.

The newspaper said the Bush administration started the site under 
pressure from congressional Republicans who had hoped to use the 
Internet to find new evidence of the dangers posed by former Iraqi 
President Saddam Hussein before the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
In recent weeks, according to the Times, the site posted documents that 
weapons experts said contained detailed accounts of Iraq's secret 
nuclear research before the 1991 Gulf War that one diplomat called "a 
cookbook" for building an atom bomb.
On Wednesday night, after the Times informed the government about the 
concerns, it said the government suspended the site. A spokesman for the 
director of national intelligence said the site was suspended "pending a 
review to ensure its content is appropriate for public viewing."
The paper quoted European diplomats as saying that officials of the 
International Atomic Energy Agency nuclear watchdog made a private 
protest to the U.S. ambassador to the agency, voicing concern the 
information could help countries like Iran develop nuclear weapons.
The site, known as "Operation Iraqi Freedom Document Portal," contained 
about a dozen documents with charts, diagrams, equations and long 
narratives about bomb building that nuclear experts told the Times went 
beyond what was available on the Internet and other public forums.
The Times said the documents provided information on building nuclear 
firing circuits and triggering explosives as the radioactive cores of 
atom bombs.
"For the U.S. to toss a match into this flammable area is very 
irresponsible," A. Bryan Siebert, a former official at the Energy 
Department, which runs the nation's nuclear arms program, told the paper.
National intelligence director John Negroponte resisted setting up the 
Web site, the Times said, but President George W. Bush approved the site 
after congressional Republicans proposed a bill to require the 
documents' release.
According to the Times, conservative politicians and publications hoped 
analysis of the some 48,000 boxes of documents seized in the Iraq 
invasion would reinvigorate the search for proof Saddam had 
unconventional arms programs.
Bush cited concerns about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction as a 
major cause for the Iraq invasion. No such weapons have been found.
