MOPping Up


Back in September, the supposedly accidental transport via B-52 bomber of missiles tipped with nuclear warheads across the US cause quite a stir. That the ordnances landed at an airbase used for sorties in the Middle East only fueled further speculation that the weapons may have been meant for an attack on Iran. The story soon died away.

But hearing about how the Bush administration has requested funds to modify some B-2 stealth bombers to carry bunker busting bombs, I can't help but wonder if we might be in for another "accidental" nuke trip.
