Hey, terrorists, want bomb designs? Look no further than the Republican Leadership!

This happened a few months ago, but is so shocking that I can't help but post it... in a confused effort to promote how good they were on national security, the Republican Leadership ignored the advice of every competent security advisor (including America's "security czar") and put documents detailing nuclear bomb designs on the Internet. The documents were only taken down after the New York Times exposed the incompetence of the act. This led, of course, to politicians trying to cover their ass by blaming the NYT for pointing terrorists to the document. Here's a good interview with a non-proliferation expert talking about the subject on Kieth Olbermann.
