Marcel ,   Florida   (11.04.06)
The incompetence of the U.S. governement from Iraq to Los Alamos is there for israel to see ... and yet the fool leaders of israel go along with the failed Road Map which rewards Islamic terrorism and threatens Israel survival. Israel you had better jump off the Titanic while you can.
2. material

Why would anyone be working on material that is twenty to thirty years old? Just doesn't sound right to me!
3. Los-Alamos
Leo ,   Rehovot   (11.04.06)
The Los-Alamos lab in New Mexico. I did not know that there is another one in Texas! Considering the mistake in the title what is credibility of this piece?
4. Los Alamos New Mexico
Parpariti ,   Santa Fe, USA   (11.04.06)
Thank you, Leo of Rehovot. I teach journalism to high school students in Santa Fe, just down the road from Los Alamos. If one of my students made an error like this reporter did, putting the lab in the wrong state, I'd flunk them.
5. Who's to blame
HAHAHA   (11.04.06)
Can't blame Jonathon for this one!
6. Marcel, why don't you move to israel?
Danny ,   America   (11.04.06)
Your vote could do so much more than your whinning about failed policy. Voteing ain't very powerfull here in the big ol' USA compaired to the small State of Israel. You could acually do some good rather just boob and bawl from a distance? No... than quit your constant belly acheing, it don't solve anything.
7. Classified
Betsy ,   USA   (11.05.06)
In the USA, you go to jail for stealing, unless---you steal top secret documents from a Nuclear Lab. It is also no problem if you walk out of the National Archives with classified papers stuffed into your pants and socks.
8. Los Alamos has become a real problem.
sk ,   USA   (11.05.06)
The Chinese have infiltrated it. The US continues to leak secrets like a sieve. Academicians tend to have a problem with security anyway. Loss of funding might sharpen their senses.
9. Los Alamos
William Pool ,   Amarillo, TX, USA   (11.05.06)
Los Alamos is in New Mexico. What is going on? Did this happen in Texas or New Mexico?
10. Los Alamos Archivist Gets Probation
Steve Aarons ,   Santa Fe, New Mexico   (12.21.07)
Despite the media hype, the courts gave Jessica Quintana probation and no fines or restitution. The Los Alamos National Laboratory recently accepted responsibility and paid a $2.7 million dollar fine. Jessica, 22, was just an overworked part-time employee who took classified papers home. There was little security and absolutely no supervision. Chalk this up as a lesson learned: no actual harm to national security but a warning as to what could happen if things do not change at the Lab...
