The Air Force has announced an investigation into the Aug. 30 B-52 bomber flight, which was first disclosed by the Military Times newspaper. The bomber carried six nuclear-tipped air-launched cruise missiles, instead of the planned inert warheads, from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., to Barksdale Air Force Base, La.
The military said that the investigation must answer why the ground crew mistakenly selected and loaded the six live warheads!

The Air Force persuaded Defense Secretary Robert Gates who initially wanted to release more information about a B-52 mission to stay mum on B-52 armed with nukes.
Well now it seems the Airman that supplied security for the 6 missing nukes dead mysteriously while visiting his parents... http://www.minot.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123067840
Does this sound just a little fishy to anyone?

This incident was very disturbing to me. When I commented on it I got boos and thumbs down like I was anti-patriotic for being alarmed at such a goof-up.
Thanx for posting.

It would be good to get to the truth about this. However, as usual, the government position is "why tell the truth when a good lie will do." Perhaps there are many repercussions to telling the truth, including the revelation of some security vulnerabilities. However, transparency in government might have some big advantages.
The fiction of a dark, evil, and covert underside of our government is coming to reality. The value of the life of one human seems to be of little value in the great scheme of things. Is this the world that you want to live in?
It smells very fishy to me.
