Okay, it was just some nice family's backyard, but the way we media jackals acted, you'd have thought it...

Clearing up Miller-Moore

Many thanks to Brad Miller , one of the co-sponsors of the Miller-Moore amendment, who has been doing the rounds of the blogs trying to explain what it does and doesn't do. He left a comment on my blog on Sunday, and another on Yves Smith's today; I then spent a good chunk of this morning on the phone to him, nailing down the thinking behind the amendment. Conceptually, what's happening here is that...

Pickens writes "The NY Times reports that a program to detect plutonium or uranium in shipping containers has stalled because the United States has run out of helium 3, a crucial raw material needed to build the 1,300 to 1,400 machines to be deployed in ports around the world to thwart terrorists who might try to deliver a nuclear bomb to a big city by stashing it in one of the millions of containers...
