And these are the guys who insist that they are the only ones who can keep us "safe"?????
Last March, the federal government set up a Web site to make public a vast archive of Iraqi documents captured during the war. The Bush administration did so under pressure from Congressional Republicans who had said they hoped to "leverage the Internet" to find new evidence of the prewar dangers posed by Saddam Hussein.
But in recent weeks, the site has posted some documents that weapons experts say are a danger themselves: detailed accounts of Iraq’s secret nuclear research before the 1991 Persian Gulf war. The documents, the experts say, constitute a basic guide to building an atom bomb.

This is after they have already had to take down documents from that site with instructions on the manufacture of the nerve agents sarin and tabun.
The TSA hyperventilates at the thought of nail clippers and shampoo in an airline passenger's carry-on luggage, and the administration is forcing the intelligence agencies to publish this stuff on a public web site? ARE THEY INSANE???
The identity of the people Dick Cheney met with to formulate the nation's energy policy is and must remain double super secret, but plans for a nuclear bomb -- oh, no problem.
Mr. Negroponte had resisted setting up the Web site, which some intelligence officials felt implicitly raised questions about the competence and judgment of government analysts.
Gee, ya think?
Heck of a job, fellas. :mad:
