Hey, I didn’t realize Bill Clinton had assumed the presidency again:
The Los Alamos National Laboratory, a key U.S. center for nuclear weapons research, has suspended virtually all its operations after an intern sustained a serious eye injury while working with a laser, a spokesman said on Saturday.
The Friday accident, capping a series of embarrassing security and safety lapses for the lab, led new director Peter Nanos to determine that a lab-wide assessment of all operations was needed, spokesman Jim Fallin said. Nanos on Thursday had suspended all classified research.
I’m sure Clinton and the University of California are in cahoots with this somehow. But the show will go on. After all, we’ve got the “war on terror”:
“We are not going to hamper national security needs,” said Fallin. “We understand that the nation is at war.”
Uh, how is it that we need the work of a nuclear research lab to fight shadowy warriors welding box cutters and suicide bombs? Are we going to nuke Fallujah?
