I will post a link if I get it LAS VEGAS-Presumptive Republican nominee Ariz. Sen. John McCain was in Las Vegas today, raising campaign cash and holding a very brief news conference just far enough ahead of schedule that it was missed by many local media outlets.
McCain connected the repository to fears of terrorist attack on the many sites that house spent nuclear fuel across the country.
"It's not only an environmental issue, it's not only all the other aspects of it, but it's a national security issue," said McCain, "because obviously the more sites there are that have spent nuclear fuel in them, the more likelihood that they could be, and I emphasize ‘could,' be the target of terrorist organizations.
"So I want to get the issue resolved and I don't think it's fair to the American people for us to have this issue just drag out and drag out indefinitely as it has for many years. I will respect scientific opinion. The scientific opinion that I had up until recently was that Yucca Mountain was a suitable storage place, so I hope that explains my position on it."
What exactly is this man saying ? I don't think this was picked up by any newpapers or syndications. II heard this on the TV and couldn't believe my ears, or is it me? Tommy just read the last line and tell me what it is saying.
