Radioactive Japanese Tuna is Here
Why bother to fix the broker reactor?

Across the vast Pacific, the mighty bluefin tuna carried radioactive contamination that leaked from
Japan's crippled nuclear plant to the shores of the United States 6,000 miles away — the first time
a huge migrating fish has been shown to carry radioactivity such a distance.

"We were frankly kind of startled," said Nicholas Fisher, one of the researchers reporting the findings.

The levels of radioactive cesium were 10 times higher than the amount measured in previous years,
but scientists did not expect the nuclear fallout to linger in huge fish that sail the world because such
fish can metabolize and shed radioactive substances.

We can't blame you guys for the tsunami.  The story does humble one when considering the magnitude of that disaster. 

Its stopped raining.

^ I know!  At least it wasn't as bad as your rain.  Although, we had a lot of flooding in West Wales.

This move by Obama can't be any more political. Political calculation at its most obvious.

That's a heartbreaking read.

It's easy to see how how tragic stories like these are swept under the carpet. For a start the war was over, and the west wanted to draw a line under the whole thing, via the media, for their populations. Secondly, these terrible things were a result of the actions of the 'good guys' and this is simply not consistent with the idea that we were the 'good guys'

Who says music cannot be educational, eh?

Absolutely horrendous, Jim. I don't understand why things like this are not mainline history.
