"The Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks prompted the government to do a better job of securing nuclear and radiological materials. And nearly seven years later, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission says these materials are much more secure. But congressional investigators say it's not enough."

Considering that the US has lost track of eleven nuclear weapons, I'd think they'd worry a little more about getting those back versus securing low-grade material for 'dirty bombs.'
Oh yeah -- So the "you're lying" idiots who never know what they're talking about keep their Bush-sucking mouths shut (see number 44):

Well, at least Americans know why there was no action on this prior to Nov '06. ;-(

It seems as if no one has figured it out yet. These people in charge DO NOT want regulation or a paper trail. You cannot steal, pillage and plunder with people watching. Just remember one thing. The anthrax attack was followed back to a CIA lab. At which point the trail went dead. We've been punked.

Our government has been lax in their oversight of radioactive material long before 9/11 and was mandated to be more vigilant after the attack but has hampered any meaningful regulations to tighten up the security of industrial use of radioactive materials. And as the article states almost anyone can get a license to buy the stuff.

Imot suire if anyone expected anything different (well other then the Halpha brgade maybe). Radioactive material in Iraq after the invasion went unsecured for weeks after the attack allowing it to be pilfered. THis administration is by far one of the worst this country or ANY country has ever seen.

I don't know if it's funny, ironic, or just plain sad that they are able to generate a REPORT about the inability to secure this stuff in a very timely manner, but can't ACTUALLY secure it in a much longer time...
And, for those with concerns, let me posit that any NEW nuclear power plants would undoubtedly be designed with improved security measures to prevent the loss of any new - or used - radioactive materials. I know, I know, assuming facts not in evidence, but come on! Even the local building inspectors should know enough to be looking for THAT - regardless of how many gratuities might change hands...

Bush appointed nut-suckers to "mind the mint." What America wasn't told was that minding the mint and mining the mint were one-in-the-same. When America finally gets the bill for this garbage Bush lovingly calls "Iraqi freedom," any idea what real Americans will do? How big a bill? That is one of the unanswered questions -- for a damned good reason. Screw the Taliban, you know what Americans are going to do???
America, take back what the bastard stole from us!!! Hang that carpet-bagger now and save the expense of defending that sperm of a human being. Give him the same trial that Saddam Hussein had -- the very same!!!
