This Los Alamos Lab scandal smells big time

[Joanne98]

Why am I getting the feeling that the BFEE has gotten somebody within the lab to steal top secret information so they can cancel the UCLA contract and give it to a Texas University? Isn't one of them a big Bushco supporter? Or am I just being paranoid?

1. And do you think Arnold is fighting for CA or for Texas? During election..

...he said that Texas was his ideal for how to run CA. He likes TX so much he wants to give them the Los Alamos contract!

2. We don't want it.

and besides it was not our idea in the first place.
If Arnie wants to emulate Texas, I feel very, very sorry for California.

4. honestly, I would like to see the University of

California quit managing the National labs, I think it compromises their objectivity to be involved with labs that make weapons and stuff.

5. That may be true but.......

There is no way in Hell we want the BFEE to be in control of the labs. No way in Hell.

7. I'd rather have a government unit run them than a private corporation...

...run it, and I'd rather have a university run them than any other unit of the goverment. And since there are no federal universities, I'm glad it's the U of C, and if I had to chose between the U of C and the U of T, I'd rather it be run by the U of a state the BFEE doesn't have by the balls.

Furthermore, I don't think there's any other state U sufficiently sophisticated and with as much talent as the U of C system. U of C has more nobel prize winners than other U system in the world, I believe.

3. He said that?

Why hasnt he been run out on a rail yet?

6. Texas A & M is run by Robert M Gates, SuperTurd of the BFEE

The Devil & Bob Gates

By Robert Parry

At CIA's campus-like headquarters amid the leafy woods of Langley, Va., a Biblical quote stands out as an ironic motto. Itreads, "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Near the door that William Casey shuffled past for six years in the 1980s, the Lord's advice could be read as a warning, too, a kind of marker for a descent into a netherworldthat crosses Dante with Orwell.

One of the paradoxical figures from that realm was Robert M. Gates, a compact man with the looks of a choirboy and a high-pitched Midwest twang that enhanced his image of innocence. Gates was technically an intelligence analyst dedicated to an objective rendering of fact so top U.S. government officials would have sound information upon which to base decisions.

But Gates was also a savvy political player, who moved through key intelligence jobs at a young age. He was tapped by powerful mentors, especially by CIA directors Bush and Casey who saw in Gates a malleable protege and a reliable subordinate. At a number of crucial turns from 1970s to the early 1990s, Gates was there along the historical path, blending in with his easy smile and soft voice, unthreatening, disarming, but somehow sinister.

Gates's new memoirs, From the Shadows, are an eerie mix ofstartling admissions blended with dubious history and self-serving explanations. The book recounts the final phase of the Cold War and is a work of the period, rendered by a mind which saw social unrest in the Third World as nothing more than Moscow and Washington sliding expendable pawns across a bloody chess board.
