The report didn’t change article 51, the right for a state to defend itself if under attack, but the report recognizes the change of nature in modern warfare and the use of preemptive force. Scowcroft states there are no precise definitions, but there is a difference between preemption and prevention. When a state is threatened by nuclear attack and there are no other options, preemptive strikes are allowed. (1:57)
