U.S. Releases Secret List of Nuclear Sites Accidentally

NYT ^ | June 2, 2009 | WILLIAM J. BROAD

The federal government mistakenly made public a 266-page report, its pages marked “highly confidential,” that gives detailed information about hundreds of the nation’s civilian nuclear sites and programs, including maps showing the precise locations of stockpiles of fuel for nuclear weapons.

The publication of the document was revealed Monday in an on-line newsletter devoted to issues of federal secrecy. That publicity set off a debate among nuclear experts about what dangers, if any, the disclosures posed. It also prompted a flurry of investigations in Washington into why the document was made public.

On Tuesday evening, after inquiries from The New York Times, the document was withdrawn from a Government Printing Office Web site.

...

President Obama sent the document to Congress on May 5 for Congressional review and possible revision, and the Government Printing Office subsequently posted the draft declaration on its web site.

Who is Obama really working for?

When I worked for the DoD I saw many things that were classified at various levels. One day there was a meeting updating the info in question. I wandered into the room looking for a different meeting(in my defense no one had flipped the sign over indicating there was classified stuff “out”). I was NOT welcome and escorted off the floor by an armed guard. I had every clearance available to civilian employees at the time. Those guys were VERY serious about that stuff not getting out. This had to be deliberate.

“The information, considered sensitive but not classified, was assembled for transmission later this year to the International Atomic Energy Agency as part of a process by which the United States is opening itself up to more stringent inspections in hopes that foreign countries will do likewise, especially Iran and other states believed to be clandestinely developing nuclear arms.

President Obama sent the document to Congress on May 5 for Congressional review and possible revision, and the Government Printing Office subsequently posted the draft declaration on its web site.”

Directed by Obama. If he did not want it declassified, he would not have selected it to be sent.

[mad_as_he$$]

Didn't 0 appoint some peace hippy to the Pentagon just a short time ago?

[Yo-Yo]

It was an "accident."

[Secret Agent Man]

Has anyone done a “TOTUS” one of these yet?

[callisto]

How convenient, just before his talk to the Muslim world. It was a gift invitation to the Muslim world.

[acliffhang3r]

The ineptitude is amazing.

[Enoughofthissocialism]

How convenient! Leaked the day before A$$ Hat leaves for Muzzyland!

(Ugh! I shouldn't think thoughts like this:) Supposing this clown stands safely with his Muzzie brethren while his commie buddies gang up and nuke the crap out of America. All good in his eyes:

1. All the superpowers are crushed in a mutual nuclear conflagration, leaving Islam as the dominant force in the world.

2. Muzzies the world over look at Barak Hussein Obama as their Savior and set him up as supreme leader of the new caliphate.

3. Most of the evil peckerwood WHITEYS wiped off the face of the earth.


AN OBOMBER TRIFECTA!!!!!

[Jet Jaguar]

I have not seen one. Perhaps, you could put one out there.

[gaijin]

He REALLY needs to stay on a college campus.

He’s not a serious leader —just a bumbler. The man bungles EVERYTHING.

[bluedressman]

President Urkel.

[DoughtyOne]

You could be right on target for all I know.

Either the people in the Obama White House and today’s Congress are blithering idiots, or this was a designed act.

Neither one is very flattering to this administration, and the Democrat controlled Congress.

[phormer phrog phlyer]

Will charges be forth coming?

[Nachum]

It makes it probable that Obama’s hand directed this, but difficult to prove. That the Gov. Printing Office posted the draft gives him plausible deniability. Correct me if I am wrong, but it makes it hard to put this item on the list.

[gaijin]

1. pledged to slow development of future combat systems and SDI-related expenditures

2. says Iran has a RIGHT to nuclear development

3. discloses this classified nuclear stuff

WHAT DID I MISS...?

[WestCoastGal]

Ping

[doorgunner69]

What the heck is a "highly confidential" classification?

No such classification level I have ever heard of, and I have had clearances of several levels over the years.

[bgill]

Hussein just jumped right over #3,483 to #7,942 in The Plan Book. Guess someone is getting too close to the BC or something even more incriminating. Time to dust off the bug out pack.

[Revolting cat!]

What the heck is a "highly confidential" classification?

"highly confidential" is a level that peons like us aren't supposed to know exists!
