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.
Frederic Bastiat described Communism succinctly. He stated that Protectism, Socialism, and Communism are the same plant in different stages of development.
Clinton and Obama are cut from the same cloth. What Clinton did behind closed doors is what Obama does publicly. The weed is blossoming.
Well on the way to being the worst Energy Secretary since...Bill Richardson.
Chu is an imbicile. Typical Nobel Prize trash, like Gore, Carter and Krugman. Just the other day he said we should all PAINT OUR ROOFS WHITE to combat global warming. You can't make up this kind of stupid!
Hey! At least the skating is good...(8^D)
Shades of the computer disk that disappeared from Livermore Labs during Clintoon administration. Contained our nuclear testing algorithms and is thoutht to have wound up in China. I believe a Chinese immigrant scientist working at the Lab was investigated. Don’t remember if he was ultimately charged, tried and sentenced though.
Frankly, I’m surprised it took so long for this kind of thing to start happening—or it’s just the first that we know of.
The Zero has too many youths doing all the jobs. They may be eloquent and sharp with the computers, but sometimes there is no substitute for experience.
This lack of experience will kill many, many Americans someday.
Does anyone remember the time the same group put the detailed instructions and plans for atomic weapons online?
The Press went MAD that this happened. Now, they accept “oops” as an answer.
It is still a result of the young morons obama put on his staff and the stupidity of his admin. obama and his minions
will not be happy until they drag America down to the level of
the failed leftist nations.

Obama: Chains we can believe in !
I don’t think for a moment this was a mistake.
“Snafu” my a$$! Just more of the same.
Ok, it was intentional but why is it STILL online?
The birth certificate...
Ummmm can you say Obama?
The nuke story vaporized into thin air everywhere but here.
Maybe so it will be easier to track the bombs that will be lobbed at us.
Who needs terrorists to destroy the country .. we have Obama and his hand picked political cronies.
IMBECILES hell bent on taking the country down so fast, you can’t tell if it is incompetence or brilliance.
