"the University of California!"

Giving Los Alamos over to Berkeley types to manage is like giving Los Alamos over to Berkeley types to manage!

They might be giving our secrets directly to Kim Jong Il, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and even George Soros.

well they haven't given the lab over to the Berkeley types....UC has run Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore Labs since they were founded after WWII.....mostly cause they have the best scientists in the U.S.....they have developed ALL our nukes....though their security has been lapse in the last several years.....Berkeley types as you call them have more top ten grad programs in the hard sciences then any other university in the land.....I hate Bezerkely politics.....but being a grad from there.....I can tell you they are second to none ......not even MIT has the same skills.....who do you think actually discovered Plutonium and most of the trans-uranium elements.....?????
