Reply #34: Nuclear plants make convenient targets for attack. So why does the military favor them?

[McCamy Taylor]

Why do Bush and McCain and so many Pentagon types want us to invest billions into small buildings which would be easy targets for terrorist attack? Buildings that are protected by rent a cops, since the owners of nuclear reactors do not want to alarm neighbors by making them look like military targets? Thanks to Bush's War in Iraq and his mishandling of the War in Afghanistan and the political training camp at Guantanamo, he will leave office with way more Al Qaeda and Taliban in the world than there were when he stole the presidency. And the Saudis have lots of money to keep funding their Sunni terrorist buddies.

Seems to me the last thing a prudent anti-terrorist president would want to do is build more nuclear devices close to population centers where people with political grudges might be tempted to do bad things. Esp. when said nuclear plants are proclaimed to be the United States' key to independence from Middle Eastern oil.
