The Political Assault On Los Alamos National Laboratory

Harperdog writes "Hugh Gusterson has a great article on the troubles at Los Alamos over the last decade. Since the late 1990s, nuclear weapons scientists at the US Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory have faced an unanticipated threat to their work, from politicians and administrators whose reforms and management policies—enacted in the name of national security and efficiency—have substantially undermined the lab's ability to function as an institution and to superintend the nuclear stockpile."

Cutting off our oil would be an act of war, flat out. How long do you think Canada would last against us, especially considering the overwhelming majority of your country is within 100 miles of our border. Cracks me up when uppity Canadians forget their place at the North American table. You were Britain's bitch, we are the ones that gave them a huge black eye.
