NUKE SCIENTIST EXCHANGE PLANNED
Who are they kidding? Does the administration REALLY think that this is a good idea, given China's aggressive cyberwar efforts and their past documented espionage the last time a (democrat) president was dumb enough to let them near our nuclear secrets? Not to mention China's pursuit of our stealth technology from the downed SEAL Team 6 chopper in Pakistan and the downed surveillance drone in Iran. Nothing good can come from this. This president absolutely cannot be trusted with the keys to the nation's security any longer.Deputy Energy Secretary Daniel B. Poneman is working on a major Obama administration initiative that would renew scientist exchanges between U.S. nuclear weapons laboratories and Chinese nuclear facilities.
The idea is aimed at promoting openness and transparency by China's military about its secret, large-scale buildup of nuclear weapons, according to U.S. officials.
Critics say the plan is similar to an exchange program in the 1990s that sent U.S. nuclear scientists to China and produced one of the worst cases of nuclear espionage. Secrets about every deployed warhead in the U.S. arsenal were compromised, including the W-88 small nuclear warhead deployed on submarine-launched missiles.
“We’ve seen this movie before, and it has a bad ending,” one official said.
I beg all of you, hold your nose if you must, but please cast your vote for the republican nominee next November.
