>"...Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, whose department oversees the U.S.
>>nuclear-weapons program, admitted that the administration has not been
>>able to control the email that scientists at Los Alamos send to their
>>foreign counterparts-a suspected source of some leaks..."

>Anyone want to bet that this won't be used as yet another lame guv'ment
