Enough processed uranium to make six nuclear weapons was secretly transported thousands of miles by truck, rail and ship on a monthlong trip from a research reactor in Budapest, Hungary, to a facility in Russia so it could be more closely protected against theft, U.S. officials revealed Wednesday.

The shipment, conducted under tight secrecy and security, included a three-week trip by cargo ship through the Mediterranean, up the English Channel and the North Sea to Russia's Arctic seaport of Murmansk, the only port Russia allows for handling nuclear material.

It is interesting that this comes out in the news now. Are preparations being made to make more nuclear weapons? It says that it was for security purposes, but why would they really need to tell us that? It seems that a lot of things are coming out in the news recently that sometimes give you the impression- "Why are they telling us this?"

What do you all think?
