"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)."

    This sort of information was available before, it isn't the first time. If terrorists wanted to learn how to make the bomb, they could do so more easily than most.
