The Los Alamos National Laboratory, the nation's most important nuclear weapons lab, lost another hard disk drive filled with classified information, once again throwing a spotlight on lab officials who have been trying to re-emerge from years of scandals and mismangement.

"Can't they ever get anything right?" said Los Alamos security consultant-turned-whistleblower Glenn Walp. "They take the same old corporate line: 'It's not us, it's the system.' How refreshing it would be if someone at that place would have the backbone to admit they screwed up."

Computer security has been particularly problematic for the lab. In 2001, two missing hard drives packed with nuclear weapon designs were found behind a Los Alamos copy machine.

Okay, now we have this harddrive missing.

I was just reading in another ATS thread about two Iralies (sp) trying to get into a nuclear base over the weekend, with a remote controlled robot in the truck.

In a few days on the FX channel there's a movie about a nuclear reactor being taken over by terrorist and used as a bomb....

coincidence ???

It certainly seems Israel wants �the bomb�, Ariel Sharon just commented on it a couple days ago.

JERUSALEM (AP) - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon came close to ending four decades of secrecy about the country's nuclear-arms capability, saying the United States recognizes that Israel needs a credible deterrent to Iran and other hostile countries.

Since acquiring a nuclear reactor from France in the 1960s, Israel has maintained a policy of "ambiguity," refusing to confirm or deny that it has nuclear weapons.
