Steven Aftergood, a security expert at the Federation of American Scientists in Washington, revealed the existence of the document Monday in Secrecy News, an electronic newsletter that he publishes on the web.
He expressed bafflement at its disclosure, calling it “a one-stop shop for information on U.S. nuclear programs.”…
The report details the locations of hundreds of nuclear sites and activities. Each page is marked across the top “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL SAFEGUARDS SENSITIVE,” with the exception of pages that detail additional information such as site maps. In his transmittal letter, Mr. Obama said the cautionary language was a classification category of the I.A.E.A.’s inspectors.

I do hear your point. However, Obama is culpable by allowing this to happen. He has appointed incompetents and worse at multiple levels of government.
While I’m not convinced he personally sent this information by his own hand, he is either malicious or stupid. Probably both.

Obama will cover this up just as he’s hidden his own transcripts, etc.
It is too heinous to ignore, Obama spilling all the beans in every detail before his pilgrimage to Egypt.
For William Long, we need to rally organized commemoration.
The last tea parties focused on Obama’s socialization of our economy that has mushroomed since April 15 into blatant communism, but BANKRUPT communism from the get go. We’re sold as indentured servants into Red China’s hands.
With July 4, Americans need to rally around our nation’s identity based upon our Declaration and our supreme law of the land, the US Constitution.
William Long stood up. We will not silently suffer his murder in America by a terrorist that Obama’s administration knowingly kept in our public midst.
Domestic terrorism in America comes from Obama supporters. And Obama supports domestic terrorism in America via internet information as to exactly where to steal exactly what from American non-military “guarded” facilities.
Someone please expound on the regulations placed upon the guards of America’s nuclear test kitchen and pantry facilities, and mention their training. Universities are notorious for non-secured labs, protected by university police off location via webcam. Most security companies and security officers are limited in authority to relay information to local law enforcement. If a theft is occurring, the lapse in time would prove devastatingly tragic for public safety. Even if military trained security agents were posted at every facility now exposed in one neat package in every detail, their legal limitations would leave them vulnerable to Democrat prosecution for doing their jobs. Obama already showed how slow on the draw he is and how he ties our military itself into knots waiting for pirates to fire first and return fire to be refrained from if at all possible.

Meh – so the location of a bunch of nuclear materials is made available to whomever has the iniative to click on a link.
What’s the worst that could come of this?
Maybe someone should tell Obama that Mushroom clouds aren’t a byproduct of ingesting mushrooms. Of course, it’s generally the stuff going on UNDER the cloud that’s the problem.

/Obama could say the same thing about Dodge, Chrysler that is./
Even the nasty divorce resonates with Americans disillusioned with The One whom they elected. For many, Obama’s election is the nightmare of an unholy arranged marriage conducted by the revisionist religion of political correction.
Would community commemorations for Long be more burn out, or perhaps a cathartic balm for haggard Americans? Are we all so angry with what is occurring that we can’t even stand each other? Everyone is in dire need of a break, because the feds are driving us over the brink of breakdown.
Perhaps Malkin and friends could promote “RIP Long” t-shirts for us to wear wherever we want, whenever we want. The man stood up for us, and was shot down for us in our midst. Protecting his memory from extinction acknowledges our support for all of our recruits, troops and veterans at home, not just abroad.

The New York Times “conveniently” left out this part of the story that the Washington Times printed:
Question: What’s a “House leader” and why would a “house leader” want to have these docs released? Paging Nancy Pelosi.

Meh?
Obama revealed the architectural blueprints for storage facilities, identifying the specific satellite spot, depth and concrete parameter “protection” per item. That information he personally attached to what was previously known (not published by the feds, and not all accumulated into one document). Obama even failed to stamp as either confidential, top secret, or classified. Before Obama made this information public on his own, these schematics were not publicly available.

Rovin on June 3, 2009 at 9:31 AM
Obama set up the information and dispersed it without US classification, AS IF UN classification trumps US in our Legislative Branch or any federal branch of our government.
Rovin,
Your spot is perfect on Pelosi a-broad from the House. She won’t be taking the 3am call, so which of her staffers will she finger with the axe when the time comes?
maverick muse on June 3, 2009 at 9:46 AM
They don’t read bills they vote on…why would they read this?
PappaMac on June 3, 2009 at 9:46 AM
Did Nancy promise the Chicoms she would give them these secrets when she was in Beijeng. This is the price we pay for having incompetent,lying libtards running the govt.

As long as MM et al get permission from the family, and all proceeds go to the family, I’m all for it.
Maybe Slublog or some of the other talented folks out there can come up with something.
Timothy S. Carlson on June 3, 2009 at 10:05 AM
Maybe a “Hero / Zero” t-shirt. The hero is William Long, the zero is Bubblehead.
As far as Bubblehead’s non-comments on the Long shooting, I guess he’s following the age-old advice: “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”.
That tells you a lot of our “President”.
Did you notice that the US is a muslim country now? Bubblehead said so!
What will it take to remove this cancer from the Presidency?
Timothy S. Carlson on June 3, 2009 at 10:10 AM
Even if this information was later taken down from the website, enemies or terrorists could have downloaded it. They’ll have months or years to pore through it and find the weak spots in the defense.
Obama would be wise to beef up security at those installations, but he’s too busy making peace with the terrorists by telling them we’re a Muslim nation.

Der ObamanFuhrer is counting on a nuclear incident in the US to give him the grounds to declare martial law.
You do realize that a mushroom cloud over a million or so dead Americans (one can only hope this happens in San Francisco while PelHOsi is there) will be his version of the Reichstag fire.
He will get a twofer if he can somehow blame it on us “bitter clingers” verses his pals in Al Qaeda just like Clinton did with McVeigh and Nichols when he ignored their connections to Binny’s boys in Oklahoma City. Clinton pretty much wiped out the militia movement for a while.
Image what Barry will do to all of us opposition types after we get nuked … think on what the Nazi’s did after they blamed the Jews for all Germany’s ills.
