#1 Of course, if they want to dismantle Bangor's facilities, we'd love to have 'em here in San Diego. We love our military here - Navy and Marines, and they wouldn't have to patiently explain technical things over and over again to Seattle UnIntelligencer reporters

#4 Someone might also want to point out that the prevaling winds in the Bangor area are from northwest to southeast, meaning that if there HAD been a release of any radioactivity (the likelihood of that approaches negative numbers, but that's another story), any particles would have been blown toward Tacoma, not Vancouver. Of course, trying to discuss this logically with a card-carrying member of the LLL is impossible, since there's no logic to "discuss" to.

#5 In the name of "transparency in government",Libby Davies can tell us how a $10million dollar gun registry in Canada can end up costing @$2BILLION.She can explain how cancer patients in Canada are suing to get radiation treatment in a timely manner.She can explain how Chretien's government used Mounties to intimidate and harass opponents,and most of all she can explain the graft,bribes,and corruption that was/is the hallmark of Liberal Party's governance of Canada.After all,"I think when something is covered up it is pretty outrageous."Clean up the cess-pool that is the Liberal Party,then Libby,you can whine about the US.

#6 Libby Davies: "If something happens in Bangor, we're the ones upwind."

Not to rain on Libby's metaphorical parade, but upwind is the best place to be when it comes to fallout. Downwind is where the stuff heads.

Plus that little "fact" (ooh! scare quotes!) that OP mentioned about the prevailing winds.

#7 "If something happens in Bangor, we're the ones upwind. Nuclear fallout knows no border," Davies said.
"...

Hey, protecting your asses is risky business, so sit down and shut up Libby.
