Lola- I highly doubt if 2200 Marines would be able to hold off 20 million crazies. They might be able to hold off 19 million, but never 20 million. I would imagine that they would just be carrying GPS handhelds and using them to lock in the co-ordinates for Mr. Missile's social call.

Government records about plutonium and uranium loaned to U.S. academic institutions, private companies, hospitals and other government agencies cannot account for "substantial" amounts of the material, according to a report released yesterday by the Energy Department inspector general. The investigation into the matter, which began before the Sept. 11 terrorist acts, did not conclude that the radioactive materials were lost or stolen from the facilities. Instead, it said there was "a weakness in controls over potentially dangerous materials" in record-keeping by a private contractor used to track the materials. washingtonpost.com
