Atomic Lemur

Politicians like to point fingers everywhere when talking about where America’s biggest threat is coming from. Whether it is legal/illegal immigrants, the ghosts of Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden, Iran, North Korea, even Russia— The list goes on. But the fact of the matter is that our country hasn’t done anything to actually decrease exposure to risk. For instance, the GAO (Government Accountability Office), which is probably the single most useful office in the government, just set up a bogus company and got a license to buy all the things they’d need for a dirty bomb. Who gives out this license? The Nuclear Regulatory Commission of course. Who’s the bigger threat, the ones trying to hurt Americans or the ones giving those people the tools they need to do it?
