I guess this falls under the category of:

"Telling a bigger lie to cover up a smaller lie"

I find this story very hard to believe.

so what's the truth?

I have an old "girl-friend" that still works there.....

We (the public) never hear 1/10th of the bad things that occur there. It is a little bit better recently, compared to the days that Hazel O'Leary and Bill Richarsdon were in charge of DOE, but it is still filled with brilliant scientists and engineers who haven't a clue about secrecy and security, and lots of administrators (drawn from "academentia") who couldn't care less about security, ( if they aren't working actively against American interests).

And it at least SEEMS as if about half the Security people wouldn't be able to make the grade as "Keystone Kops"... Although I hear that is slowly improving and there are a few real "Pros" there finally.

I find this story very hard to believe.

I'm with you, something stinks here.

At the very least, proper control of classified material is severely lacking.

At most - ? - someone trying to flush something out ?. That does not make sense, too much publicity.

Somebody is / has screwed the pooch.
