Reports on how government is having a chilling effect on news gathering is reminiscent of what American reporters found in Germany after Hitler took over. That is, people were afraid to talk to the press and the press had to meet in secret. Spies were everywhere, just as Mr. Obama would have one government employee spy on another government employee.

Nuclear accidents today threaten the very existence of life on the planet---and they do happen. Much of Europe was contaminated by the accident at Chernobyl, causing about 1-million deaths, and much of Japan is being contaminated by Fukushima.
