ACW on Nuclear Weapons Accidents

I like to post primary source documents about proliferation. But Jeffrey has posted a bunch in a really outstanding “column”:http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/10/30/nightmare_on_nuke_street?page=full over at _Foreign Policy_ which describes a bunch of nuclear weapons-realted accidents and near-misses that have occurred over the years.

On this blog, I refrain from making policy recommendations, but I can make an exception in this case:

bq. There is no reason to believe the apocryphal story about the British Army choosing red uniforms because they do not show blood. But after 60-odd years of nuclear accidents, incidents, and whatnot, I can recommend that the STRATCOM commander consider brown pants.

Definitely check it out….you can augment your document collection whilst giggling.
