Ha ha, you’re dreaming! A real news story? Out of our lying corporate media?? That’s a good one.

Furthermore the focus of the discussion on the DVD is the need to get more Gov’t intervention to secure the stockpiles of radiological materials in the former Soviet Union.

Finally, look at the comments from the website:

“What They’re Saying About
Last Best Chance

Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett told his shareholders to watch Last Best Chance, calling it “a fictional but not fanciful” scenario.

“Last Best Chance can increase awareness of the global nuclear terrorism threat. The war on terrorism will not be won until every nuclear stockpile, wherever it may be in the world, is secured and accounted for to stringent and transparent standards.”
–Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN)

“When people are moving too slowly to respond to a danger, one option is to make it more vivid. Seeing the danger is the first step to reducing the risk.”
—Ted Turner, co-chairman of the Nuclear Threat Initiative

“A wake-up call for America and the world. We need an all-out effort to lock up weapons-grade nuclear material scattered throughout dozens of countries around the world. If we act now, we can protect the American people and prevent disaster.”
—9/11 Commission Chair and Vice Chair, Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton”

I am more than willing to take to task any right (or left) wingnut, as are most of us moderate Americans. So grow up, check the facts (even if you have to expend some energy) and then make a comment. [This sort of knee-jerk response and blind agreement is what got us into this stupid second front in Iraq.]

Forgive me if I have offended anyone, but this just happens to be my “button” and it got pushed hard with this. Peace.

…..because their security controls for their suitcase nukes are excellent.
Which comes after the Russian explanation that these were missing becuase they were destroyed rather than lost.

To go along with the US statements that they are “certainly aware” of these devices having been developed by the Russians.

But all that is of course rendered redundant by this random wanker you’ve quoted here as a expert on a topic he has never referred to in published works before now, declaring them non-existant.

Do you not feel you now have a journalistic responsibility to inform the DoD about this new information TP ?

Shouldn’t they be told that the existance of things they’ve been referring to in public statements for at least 10 years has now been declared fictional by Random Non-Specific Quote Guy ?

Did he follow this up by distinguishing between the suitcase nukes he says are fantasy and the very real suitcase-sized nuclear weapons developed by both the US and Russia that have been well documented and referenced for quite some time ?

The US model is well known. Interestingly, the #1 search result for the Russian model number is Hillary.org.

More interesting is that you can’t find “Charles Thornton” ever mentioning the existance of these weapons. Which may be a massive fkn hint as to how clued in this “expert” is.

The primary question raised here is under what circumstance does some random arms control expert (who’s #4 google result is this page in year 15 of the internet) who’s never referred to such weapons before, get the final say on the this ?

Whether something the National Security Advisor of the USSR, the KGB, the GRU and US intelligence officials have all referred to the existance of, as non-existant ?

Fkn strange concept of authoritive sources around here TP. Anything I can declare non-existant (that I’m an “expert” on while never having referred to before now) while we are at it that you’ll reprint as though it were fact ?

I can work a Fred Thompson reference in if that’s all that’s required for you to compromise your standards.

We all know that it has never worked and will never work.

We’ve made great strides in this area and will continue to do so. Leave your political bias out of the arena of technological innovation.

In other words, stop talking out of your @ss.

I don’t think we need another Reagan.

That would be Senator Nunn , Ted Turner and Warren Buffet, some of the most conservative guys around.

Nice job of doing yet another poor job TP.

Of course—it’s called presidential exploratory committee–has one now.

Come on, America, wake up!

Come on, America, wake up!
