"H-Bomb Secret" Now Online

Posted by michael on from the we'll-try-to-stay-serene-and-calm dept.

DrDNA writes "In 1979, the US Government sued Howard Morland, Erwin Knoll and Sam Day at The Progressive Magazine for prior restraint over the planned publication of 'The H-Bomb Secret: How We Got It--Why We're Telling It,' citing national security. Six months later, a Federal appeals court vacated the restraining order on publication, and the article was published. There's an interview about the case with George Stanford, of Argonne National Lab, Illinois, a technical adviser for the Progressive Magazine. After all this time, the Progressive article is now online (4Mb pdf)."

    I cant believe Chong got 9 months in Jail for selling bongs! Is it really illegal in America to sell pipes and bongs?

    Man you yanks are losing the plot big time... I am glad I am in Europe, but I would choose Chinas Human Rights over the fear, conservatism and ignorance of America any-day.

    Gives me the creeps to see that such a fucked up country is now acting as the worlds policeman and enforcing its will on the rest of the world.

    I think America should follow Libyas example and let UN inspectors in to inspect Americas WMD programs.

    I am really fucking scared of America now, and its fucked up facist leader Bush. Its out of control and the world needs to band together to stop this tyranny and change the regime in America NOW! Before its too late.
