About Those Nuclear-Armed Missiles Flown to Barksdale AFB ...

Larry Johnson has post (basically crying "bullshit) about the DoD's latest explanation for this supposed mishap. But what's probably even more interesting is the comment he's posted at the end of his piece. Who leaked that this happened - and more importantly, what was the intended audience of this leak?

Whoopsie! Let's all (and especially the Air Force) be happy that bomber didn't crash.

The weapons wouldn't (or at least shouldn't) have gone off in a crash. Be a pain to recover all the material, though.

Sorry - that's whoopsie business was supposed to link to a post on Arms Control Wonk about those missiles lacking fire resistant pits - but for some reason that link which looks like it is in the entry isn't showing up in this post.

Ah. Yeah, that would be unfortunate, especially since the first responders would have no freaking idea that there was plutonium nearby.
