For a \"traveling scholar\" and someone so fond of frequent, gaudy literary and dramatic references, the author comes off sounding amazingly uneducated in this \"article.\"  
It\'s no secret why this type of nonsensical writing doesn\'t make its way into any respectable media forms. It\'s inflammatory, speculative, grossly uninformed and completely biased.  
If the author had any clue how nuclear warheads are armed and detonated, he would know that it\'s not a \"billion dollar ineptitude\" that they would not (and did not in the past) detonate in a crash. In fact, it\'s a very important and comforting safety feature that obviously most other Americans understand -- hence, the lack of a greater uproar over this situation. Hell - even the average moron watching Steven Segal movies like \"Under Siege\" would be closer to the truth about how nukes work than the author is. And that\'s SAD.  
The fact is, this was a very embarrassing incident, and heads have rolled and they will roll as the investigation reveals what series of errors caused the failure in procedures. However, no one was in any danger that they wouldn\'t have been if these bombers actually took off on a real-world bombing mission. Of course in those missions they would be armed and flying over the U.S. soil. The only issue is that this mission was not meant to have nukes aboard -- hence the mistake, hence the heads to roll.  
My suggestion to the author: spend more time actually knowing what you\'re talking about and less time trying to sound smart while bashing your country and those who defend even YOUR right to speak freely.
