The federal government mistakenly made public a 266-page report, its pages marked “highly confidential,” that gives detailed information about hundreds of the nation’s civilian nuclear sites and programs, including maps showing the precise locations of stockpiles of fuel for nuclear weapons.
What? You’ve got to be kidding me.
“These screw-ups happen,” said John M. Deutch, a former director of central intelligence and deputy secretary of defense who is now a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “It’s going further than I would have gone but doesn’t look like a serious breach.”
But David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security, a private group in Washington that tracks nuclear proliferation, said information that shows where nuclear fuels are stored “can provide thieves or terrorists inside information that can help them seize the material, which is why that kind of data is not given out.”
Booooooooo. Come on people. As Bootybass would say, adults get results. Enough of this tomfoolery now, lets keep those nukes safe and sound.

unfortunately stuff like this happens all to often.
but look on the bright side, our government is so incompetent that it is incapable to pull off a conspiracy of massive proportions like the 9/11 and pearl harbor truthers claim.
To paraphrase Reel 2 Reel, why don’t they just move it? move it?
