Nuclear Training Software Downloaded To Iran

SixFactor sends in word of a theft of training software for a nuclear plant. An ex-employee of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, in Arizona, allegedly downloaded training software to his laptop while he was in Iran. The software was downloaded from a Maryland-based contractor to the nuclear plant. It contained information about the Palo Verde facility: control rooms, reactors, and design. It was used to simulate situations for training at the site. Why the ex-engineer downloaded the software is not known. What is troubling is this person's ability to access the software after his employment at the site ended.

I am not sure how anyone could even suggest something like - 'I CAN, but you sire, CANNOT'. Justice and equality.

Good point! I don't trust Ahmadinejad with nukes, but I don't trust Bush with them either. History shows us that the US attacks countries on false pretenses and that the only thing that matters is their interests.

Plus, a nuclear powered Iran would certainly stabilize the region. They are surrounded by Pakistan, Russia, Israel, and Americans in Iraq, all of whom have nukes.

6) While Israel has been in numerous wars, they've never initiated a war

It's sad that people actually believe this trash. Israel has ALWAYS been the aggressor, by virtue of the fact that they have sustained a brutal 60-year occupation of Palestine.
