- Sadly, my hunch is turning out to be correct. It
appears the Columbia space shuttle did, indeed, have radioactive
materials on board.
-
- In an interview with National Public Radio last night,
the Sheriff of Nacogdoches, Texas, Thomas Kerss, declared the following:
"There was radioactive material on board." Kerss also declared that all
the debris found by the retrieval operations would be tested for
radioactivity.
-
- So there you have it. And you can imagine the anger
that NASA and U.S. military officials are feeling toward Sheriff Kerss
for spilling the nuclear beans to the public.
-
- But it's the Texans that should be the angriest. They
are the ones who have apparently become unwitting guinea pigs to NASA's
madness. They, quite literally, got dumped on.
-
- The fine folks at the Global Network Against Weapons
and Nuclear Power in Space have issued an official Freedom of
Information Request to NASA seeking the " full disclosure of the type,
the amount, and the purpose of radioactive material on board
Columbia."
-
- If the history of NASA is any indication, it won't be
easy getting straight answers. Karl Grossman, the author of the NASA
expose, The Wrong Stuff, has been trying to get information from the
space agency for years and has been frustrated every step of the
way.
-
- "They lie as much as they breathe," Grossman declared
on Pacifica Radio's "War & Peace Report" last night.
-
- NASA has a sorry history of cover-ups, deceit, and
information obfuscation, making it akin to a wild goose chase just to
get the most basic information about its missions. NASA's trump card
when dodging information predators is to claim "national security." And
given the agencies close knit relationship with the U.S. military, it's
a claim it often gets away with.
-
- But now that the Columbia shuttle has exploded above
our heads and its super-secret-contents have rained down upon us, the
public must be informed about the dangers we're facing. The nation's
health and security is at risk, and it's NASA that has created this
clear and present danger.
-
- If there is anything left of our democracy, now is the
time for it to be tested. NASA and the U.S. military must not be allowed
to hide behind their convenient sheaths of secrecy. The public must be
informed about the dangers that lie ahead, and NASA must be reined in to
meet the goals of the people.
-
- In recent years the world community has made it clear
that they find U.S. arrogance too much to bear. The U.S. has cancelled
international peace and environmental accords; its used its military
might wherever and whenever it likes; and it's turned its back on
billions of poor, starving, and ill-housed global citizens.
-
- And now the U.S. wants the world's sympathy for the
explosion of a multi-billion-dollar space toy and its seven astronauts.
Sorry, Mr. Bush, but the U.S. is only looking more arrogant by the
minute.
-
- Unfortunately, much of the world is all too familiar
with explosions -- they usually mean U.S. military warplanes are on the
horizon. Within a matter of weeks it looks like hundreds and thousands
of additional military explosions will occur in Iraq, Afghanistan, and
maybe even North Korea.
-
- How is it that we deserve the world's sympathy?
-
- Enough already.
-
- The Bush administration should be magnifying "the
pain" they're feeling from the loss of the seven astronauts by tens of
thousands to get some perspective on how the world feels about our
military-induced explosions. There isn't enough time for all the
memorials these innocent people deserve.
-
- Scary, isn't it, how much terror the U.S. government
(our government!) could wage in one single month? First, it's toxic and
radioactive materials raining down on our innocent heads. And, next,
it's bombs heading for the heads of innocent Iraqis.
-
- Yes, we need to stop terrorism. And we should start
with the terrorism being done in our name.
