Re Jim's: "Was Russell a fraud? A loveable one perhaps. In later life he campaigned against the bomb and the Vietnam War (organising a war crimes tribunal with his secretary, Ralph Schoenman - what happened to him?), but early after the second world war he recommended a pre-emptive nuclear strike against the then un-nuclear soviets."

I don't ever recall hearing that Bertrand Russell called for any kind of nuclear strike against anyone. Quite a shocker if true. Could you cite a source on this?
