ANOTHER FREDO FIRST

Remember that 6 nuclear-tipped cruise missiles were mistakenly loaded onto the wings of a B-52? Well, the WaPo lets us know that was a serious event:

"I have been in the nuclear business since 1966 and am not aware of any incident more disturbing," retired Air Force Gen. Eugene Habiger, who served as U.S. Strategic Command chief from 1996 to 1998, said in an interview.

It's not like this was a 25-standard deviation event:

The incident came on the heels of multiple warnings -- some of which went to the highest levels of the Bush administration, including the National Security Council -- of security problems at Air Force installations where nuclear weapons are kept.

Now, wouldn't the wingnuts be calling for Pres. Gore's head?
