What about them? Did they also report it as a fact?

CNN is also reporting this right now.

They are reporting that he believes it. Hopefully, he is wrong.

My criticism is that according to the OP it sounded like a fact...which of course would be very bad news and shameful for the Japanese to be hiding the information.

I took political junky's word for it. probably a mistake for me to do so.

Probably...I have learned to research anything posted on this site to determine the truth...and sometimes I still forget.

Fox just broke this. The rods of 1 nuke plant in Japan are exposed, in open air, with no water. Nuclear experts advise Fox this is a nuclear meltdown in progress, about to become catastrophe.

Politics aside....God help those people. There is little any single person or government on Earth could truly do to halt all harm. We should all pray for the people.

Got a link?

Foz news and all the major media will be wearing bags over their heads when they find out that the radiation leaked amounted to that of a simple dental x-ray. This is overblown as usual as fear sells and do they ever know how to sell it.

Actually, I think the opposite is more likely. I think, garnering facts from a variety of sources, and weighing what a vast array of global experts are saying, that the situation is so serious that they are trying to downplay it to try and avoid a mass panic. If one reactor melts, bad. If two melt, really bad. More than that and we're looking at a 'holy shit' scenario.

Every country with citizens in the area is getting their people out. The US, UK, France and a variety of others are chartering plans to ensure their citizens are out. Advice about Japan includes recommending no travel to Toyko.

It's actually an extremely serious situation.

HEY NOW ! That's socialistic ! Let them worry about getting out by themselves ! Every man for himself ! That's the murkin way !!!

Rush Limbaugh Laughs at Hilarious Japanese Tragedy | Indecision Forever | Political Humor, 2010 Election, and Satire Blog | Comedy Central
[video at link]
When discussing the recent tsunami in Japan, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh spoke with a caller who asked, "If these are the people that invented the Prius, have mastered public transportation, recycling, why did Mother Earth, Gaia if you will, hit them with this disaster?."

"Interesting question!" And with absolutely no overt logical fallacies!

Rush, of course, shows the situation the sympathy it deserves…



"He's right," Limbaugh said. "They've given us the Prius. Even now, refugees are recycling their garbage." Here, he began to laugh, continuing, "and yet, Gaia levels them! Just wipes them out!"

Apparently for Rush, a tsunami that kills thousands and razes entire cities is worth a chuckle, so long as the wave takes out a Prius plant in the process. At least he didn’t make an ill-timed Godzilla joke. Wait, I spoke too soon.

What a pig that man is.

Seriously.... it's ridiculous to compare Limbaugh to a pig. Pigs are actually very friendly, nice animals.... who serve a purpose.... no comparison at all with that asshole, Limbaugh.

 

[California Girl]

Oh, and... on topic.... Still waiting for the world to catch up with Fox.... no meltdown.... YET.

Me thinks the OP misunderstood the news report. I've seen jack shit on Fox, or anywhere else.

However, the situation - as described by the BBC - is 'dire'.

New cybervirus found in Japan / Stuxnet designed to attack off-line servers via USB memory sticks

Stuxnet, a computer virus designed to attack servers isolated from the Internet, such as at power plants, has been confirmed on 63 personal computers in Japan since July, according to major security firm Symantec Corp.

The virus does not cause any damage online, but once it enters an industrial system, it can send a certain program out of control.

Symantec says the virus reaches the servers via USB memory sticks, and warns against the careless use of such devices.

The problem following the earthquake was that the automated shutdown systems failed to operate at some of the reactors, because pumps failed and valves would not open even while running on batteries; the very sorts of mischief Stuxnet supposedly was designed to cause at Iran's power station.

Interesting but not quite to the level of conspiracy --yet.

An israeli-devised, extremely destructive computer worm called “Stuxnet” was unleashed last year on the Iranian nuclear reactor at Bushear to disable its water-cooling procedure. This infection spread to the Chinese and Japanese reactors by last October, could this be the reason for the breakdown of all the Japanese active reactors?
