Election eve hijinks: why didn't the NYT story explain this (Iraq Nuke plans)?

Question

Unfortunately, it's already easy to make a bomb:

http://www.beloit.edu/~belmag/03fall/03fall_features/03fall_dobson.html

The hard part is getting the uranium. Guess these students didn't have tickets to Niger!

The government shouldn't have posted the plans. But the information is out there.

The REAL story is that the Times is now on record as saying Saddam was a big danger. There is NO WAY on Earth to argue that these plans are a danger but that Saddam (who had them and was working to implement them) was NOT a danger.

What's your explanation?

Thanks madmarine - college physics students have been doing it for decades also!

I mean mudmarine!

Answer 1

You can get the basics out of any encyclopedia , I did way back in high school , 1965 . Built a model for Chemestry class , got an A+ .
The 2 problems are getting and refining the fizzable materials .
The rest is just another bomb .

Answer 2

They say the plans led the Gov. to believe that Sadam was to the poit of obtaining components. So, yes he was a danger. Just as this Armadinajad guy is a danger. just as the NYT is a danger.

Answer 3

Besides the uranium, two other things are not easy either: (1) getting the detonators, and (2) keeping the project a secret.

Answer 4

The Republicans will pull out every low down trick in the book to try and to save their power in Congress. Because they know that is all they have to work with. They cannot and will not boast on their record. Have you heard of this from any Republican out there running for office? You should elect me because I did this or that. Ha Ha Ha. No just bash your opponent. Karl Rove politics. When will the average American see this?

Answer 5

more trouble at three mile island the other makes me wonder if we aren't headed for another chernoble or worse///
