Now they’re trying to sell us a War in Iran . . .
The slashdotters have done a wonderful job of debunking the Nuclear Threat from the Nuclear Warhead blueprints allegedly found on a laptop computer in Switzerland and owned by so-called nuclear smugglers. They first point out that the story in both the NY Times has some inconsistencies with how things geek actually work. The slashdot article asks, “Given that Khan’s revelations were made in early 2004, does that mean it took the IAEA 1-2 years to brute-force the encryption?” Apparently the NYTimes didn’t dig deep enough again into information that was being fed to them. And The Washington Post did an even worse job, since many of the pieces the Washington Post puts together are sources that have already been shown to have ties to the CIA.
One can only hope that the election will distract the majority of the CongressCritters from the fear mongers for long enough for us to get the Top Idiot out of office.
