FutureSex after Cheney & Bush
Undercover investigators, working for a fake firm, obtained a license to buy enough radioactive material to build a “dirty bomb,” amid little scrutiny from federal regulators, according to a government report obtained on Wednesday.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued the license to the dummy company in just 28 days with only a cursory review, the Government Accountability Office said.
The GAO, which set up the sting, said the NRC approved the license after a couple of faxes and phones calls and then mailed it to the phony company’s headquarters — a drop box at a United Parcel Service location.
Once again, Washington lives up to the “standards” of Cheney and Bush. With a government based wholly on secrets and lies, cronies and crooks with no Congressional or public scrutiny - is there any reason for surprise?
