Plutonium is a trace contaminant in uranium ore. As I recall, it is the product of decay of the Neptunium which is formed as an unstable intermediate by the bombardment of U-238 with neutrons.

So, you are technically correct. Stratfor's point is still well taken.

Well, it's not found in nature in quantities than can be mined like uranium ore. But its formation through neutron bombardment is still natural, whether in the ground in uranium ore or through a carefully contrived process.
