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