    Again, since you seem to miss the point, you can't actually calculate that when there's an entire generation that could be eating irradiated seafood. In the future.

    Iowa Republican congressman Steve King supported Akin during the controversy,[59] saying that Akin "is a strong Christian man, with a wonderful family".

    Controversy over Akin's comments ignited again after the election, when fellow Republican Representative Phil Gingrey, who is also an obstetrician, said Akin's comments were "partly right" when he said women's bodies can avoid pregnancy in cases of rape.[65] Gingrey also said that he "delivered lots of babies" and "[knew] about these things".

    So eating irradiated seafood, for possibly decades, is counted in that 'safest' statistic?

    Considering we don't yet know all the costs of clean up and impact for Chernobyl OR Fukushima, I'm not sure how you can state that nuclear is the cheapest.

    Companies that receive FISA warrants, like Yahoo, have challenged them in the FISA court.

    How hard is it for you to understand that those companies cannot APPEAL the FISA court decisions?

    Even though you said there was an appeals court.

    It's only allowed to be used by the government, not the other parties in the case.

    And the very next sentence, which you failed to quote, shows how extraordinarily deluded you are.

    Because of the almost perfect record of the Department of Justice in obtaining the surveillance warrants and other powers it requested from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the review court had no occasion to meet until 2002.

    The DOJ did everything perfectly in the FISA from 1978 until 2002. If you believe that there's an actual oversight court. Or are completely deluded.

    Also note that NO ONE BUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN APPEAL A FISA RULING.

    This is not an appeals court.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Foreign_Intelligence_Surveillance_Court_of_Review

    The United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review (FISCR) is a U.S. federal court whose sole purpose is to review denials of applications for electronic surveillance warrants (called FISA warrants) by the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (or FISC). The FISCR was established by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (known as FISA for short) and consists of a panel of three judges. It is not an adversarial court; rather, the only party to the court is the federal government, although other parties may submit briefs as amici curiae if they are made aware of the proceedings.

    You are delusional.
