WASHINGTON – The government accidentally posted on the Internet a list of government and civilian nuclear facilities and their activities in the United States, but U.S. officials said Wednesday the posting included no information that compromised national security.

However, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, questioned about the disclosure at a House hearing, expressed concern with respect to a uranium storage facility at the department's Y-12 facility in Oak Ridge, Tenn. The facility holds large quantities of highly enriched uranium, which if obtained can be used to fashion a nuclear weapon.

The 266-page document was published on May 6 as a transmission from President Barack Obama to Congress. According to the document, the list was required by law and will be provided to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

That’s not it. It was a list of sites that included their inventories and security protocols. The article says it was 266 pages. It would be kind of funny if it was still up, but this happened on May 6th.

Which leads to another obvious question. How come our alert media took almost a month to find out about it? If it was a forged document that said Barack Obama ignored his National Guard duties, they would put it on the air immediately.

Something strange is going on with the website. I keep getting bounced out of my browser with my machine reaction time slowed considerably. I’ve restarted my computer twice and still can’t access the website. Guess the govt’s computer nerds are blocking access.

It’s still there, you just have to have enough available memory to open a 267 page .pdf file. I just reopened it seconds ago to test it out. Big honking file.

Obama seems to have reviewed the 267-page document more than he did the Bailout Bills!

Here's the first 2 pages:
