600 pounds of Plutonium could be missing from lab

LOS ALAMOS / Plutonium could be missing from lab / 600-plus pounds unaccounted for, activist group says:

Enough plutonium to make dozens of nuclear bombs hasn't been accounted for at the UC-run Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and may be missing, an activist group says in a new report.

Hmm. So it wasn't YellowCake from Nigeria after all.

There is no evidence that the weapons-grade plutonium has been stolen or diverted for illegal purposes, the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research said. However, the amount of unaccounted-for plutonium -- more than 600 pounds, and possibly several times that -- is so great that it raises 'a vast security issue,' the group said in a report to be made public today.

Yeah, there's no evidence it's been used for nefarious purposes, but, then again, there was no evidence that Saddam Hussein was aiding Al-Qaeda either, nor that Iraq had real WMDs, now was there? I'm assuming the US will now attack the country where this lab lost all the supplies, and bring that fascist dictatorship to its knees. InvadingSaving the world, one dictatorship at a time!

Oh, wait a minute.
