'Embarrassing' mistake puts US nuke list online
Associated (with terrorists) Press ^ | 6-3-09 | H. JOSEF HEBERT

WASHINGTON - The government's inadvertent and red-faced Internet posting of a 266-page list of U.S. nuclear sites provided a one-step guide for anyone wanting details about such sensitive information. Obama administration officials said Wednesday the document contained no classified material about nuclear weapons. They contended the locations and other details already were available from public sources.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu said "a snafu" led to the online posting. "A little embarrassing," he acknowledged.

The document, stamped "highly confidential safeguards sensitive," made it onto the Government Printing Office's Web site - and why that happened was not immediately clear. A newsletter that focuses on government secrecy quickly picked up on it. The printing office removed the document when informed "about the potential sensitive nature" of the list, the agency said.

By then it was too late.

This is what happens when you put someone who values openness above all else in change of the military!

Nothing this crowd does to undermine America’s safety and security is a “mistake”.
It is their agenda!

It is almost as if someone wants another high-profile and high-cost terrorist attack in this country. Hmmm...? How would such a crisis be used by this administration?

There are no “mistakes” in D.C.

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

Here's the first 2 pages:

Oh brother! What a bunch of buffoons. Scary isn't it. Or, could this have been on purpose? And, what purpose would that be?

LOL. It's so funny to observe your train of thought exhibited by your comments. Outrage, disgust, fear, suspicion, analysis...

Getting that report on that unclassified web site, took several deliberate steps (or mistakes, depending on your perspective). First, the document had to be downloaded from a classified system and then copied or uploaded onto the unclassified site.

The information was not classified by the US Government.

I wish I was completely wrong.

Do you recall Clinton and those advanced space technology chips he gave to China? If anyone believes these “mistakes” are mistakes, they’re either liberals parading as conservatives, or they’ve failed to stop and take a look around while drivin’ on that road to Wally World.

I remember. I do have to admit, by disgust for Clinton pales by comparison to my hate for Obama.
