Another scary story, closer to home, but an even scarier story is not in the headline.

Why is the fox in the hen house?

As Russia threatens to use nukes against the U.S. “if the West attacks Russian territory,” a disturbing story has come out in recent days detailing the recruitment of over a hundred Chinese scientists who had worked at the nuclear research lab at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico to bring whatever they may have learned back to China.

Certainly that’s disturbing enough, Russia loading up on nuclear techies, but it raises some even more disturbing questions: What were a hundred or more Chinese nuclear scientists doing in our Los Alamos labs doing to begin with? How long have they been there? How much access do they have. Last, who was responsible for the ill-considered decision allowing scientists from a nuclear rival to come work in the heart of our research facilities?

Sheer folly (to be polite about it).
