- I think this is a rather excessive level of paranoia. After all,
- don't you think that people will get upset to the tune of lynch mobs
- when residents near the site start dropping dead of radiation
- sickenss? I mean at the levels Greenpeace is implying we aren't
- talking cancer thirty years down the road for .1% of people within
- five miles. We're talking hair falling out in six months for people
- within fifty miles. Do you really think that a Western government
- would need Greenpeace's badgering to convince them that this is a bad
- idea?
