Uh...the stockpile is here....

This is supposed to be one of the most secured areas in the world.

I doubt they got even near anything important, but still an embarrassment.

Friend’s blog tells more of 3 protesters’ Y-12 actions

According to information on a blog written by Ellen Barfield, who describes herself as a friend, the three protesters, “calling themselves Transform Now Plowshares, hammered on the cornerstone of the newly built Highly-Enriched Uranium Manufacturing Facility (HEUMF), splashed human blood and left four spray-painted tags on the recent construction, which read: ’Woe to the empire of blood; The fruit of justice is peace; Work for peace not for war; and Plowshares please Isaiah.’”

Wyatt said the protesters “put themselves at great risk.” He said security forces could have shot the protesters. “We’re thankful that didn’t happen.”

If I am a Wahabbist terrorist, I would don the mantle of ‘anti-nuke protester’ and probe the defenses of nuclear facilities under that guise.

The Dept of Energy was forced to cut budgets at all of their sites. My brother was working for a contractor at Oak Ridge (trying to win new work) up until this spring when he was layed-off. The cutbacks at Oak Ridge he said were directly due to the DoE having to absorb the costs of Solyndra, etc, out of their operating budget.

I wonder if DoE at Oak Ridge had cut back on security as well?

Lock them in the room with the Cobalt 60 for thirty minutes..

The temporary stand-down was expected to end by next week. Special nuclear material will be moved to vaults on site, and contractor security personnel will undergo training and refresher instruction.

Should read "security personnel will be FIRED!"

Armed guards should shoot to kill when people invade a secure area.

They do not come in peace. They come to rid the US of our arsenal. They believe that Iran is perfectly permitted to “defend” themselves with nukes.

When they denounce Castro and other dictators who held nukes, maybe they can more justly claim themselves to be in good standing as patriotic citizens.

There are plenty of places to hold protest. Illegal entry to do so is not just.

I don’t understand these people. Dropping two nukes was an act of mercy over Japan fighting to every last man, woman and child.

They should have never seen the light of day.
Protestors? What protestors? No protestors here.
You say you plotted with them to enter a national
secure area? Too bad, hold out your hands while
we read you your rights.
