It's not in the flowery language or the fine print of the new U.S.-Russian arms-reduction treaty awaiting Senate ratification. But there's an interesting hedge built in to the new START treaty: If we think the Russians are cheating, we can respond quicker than they can.

It's called the "Upload Option,'' and it seems to answer treaty critics who fret that somehow or other those cunning Russians will find a way around the limits on bombs and missile warheads and surprise us with sudden nuclear war-fighting dominance.
