HOW THE ENERGY BILL MAKES US LESS SAFE FROM TERRORISM

Read how Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) forced the inclusion of an amendment that "guts restrictions on the export of highly eniched uranium, the same material used in the Hiroshima atomic bomb."

The legislation also prompted a bipartisan group of scientists, policy specialists (including myself) and former officials responsible for various aspects of nuclear security under every president since Gerald Ford to send a letter to Senator Domenici pleading with him not "to weaken a major provision of the U.S. nonproliferation law that makes it more difficult for terrorists to obtain material capable of producing a nuclear bomb."

This is scary stuff, folks. And it needs to be fixed immediately if not sooner.
