At the risk of continuing a potentially off-topic thread, I feel
obligated to point out the obvious Ameri-centrism prevalent in the
press's coverage of this unfortunate but inevitable situation.  Forget
not that the pioneers of nuclear technology in the States were, for the
most part, foreign nationals themselves.  They brought with them much of
the information that the United States claims for itself.  This strikes
me as nothing more than a case of inflated ego, but one with the
potential to do much damage to the scientific world as a whole...
