#1 "49.9% sure, but not 50%!", said the spokesliar, Franklin.

Whomever was responsible for canning Levernier should be summarily fired in kind - or shot. The guys in the "Tiger Teams" who test the security of all Federal sites are invaluable. Denial doesn't accomplish shit.

C'mon Dubya, Rummy - get this guy back in the saddle and shitcan the clowns who can't handle the heat nor the assignment - this is important shit, not some idiotic political game. *heavy sigh*

#2 This is crap. Increasing funding by 50% does not automatically increase security. And they cannot hit 50% even when the know dates months in advance. What kind of shait is this? This lab should be shut down and its management fired as an example.

Sounds like Franklin should be fired and replaced with Levenier.

You are right dot-com. This is important shit!

#3 I knew Rich "back when" (i.e., early 90s) when I spent a little time in the DOE. Levernier is a straight arrow. I had not heard that he had his clearance yanked. That's like revoking Mother Teresa's eligibility for sainthood. But the DOE was during my exposure to it the most poorly managed agency in the US government. There were competent people working within it but all were led by sniveling, spineless little pogues who thought leader was something you attached to a fishing line. They spent all day back-biting each other in an effort to protect their own rice bowl. And it appears nothing has changed.

#4 I can't believe that Berkley continues to be allowed to run Los Alamos. They recently had to reinstate two detectives hired as internal auditors that were fired because they uncovered out of control theft of materials of all kind by lab employees.
