AFP: B-52 carried nuclear missiles over US by mistake: military (http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5hMeYdNxXsPRbgtMslk-LOEHfOrLw)

WASHINGTON (AFP) — The US military said on Wednesday it was investigating an alarming security lapse when a B-52 bomber flew the length of the country last week loaded with six nuclear-armed cruise missiles.

Is it just me or is this information that should have been kept "top secret"? Do we really want our enemies to know we are that absent minded?

I think they're already well aware of it.

I think they're already well aware of it.haha touche!

I'm trying to figure out how Bill Clinton keeps screwing things up? you guys are right, this was definitely need to know info. and the public probably didn't need to know this

See, this kind of shit worries the hell out of me.

How are we just losing track of nuclear missles?!?! Not good! Not good at all.

Wait a minute, so if flying them over the U.S. is not allowed how do they get them from point A to point B? Transport them by ground? Fly them over Mexico and Canada?

Danger will always be present when it comes to transporting nuclear weapons.

We didn't lose track of them, we just failed to live up to a cold war agreement not to fly them.

Some heads really need to roll for this one. That’s just asinine!

no one lost track of them, but ammo or whatnot forgot to unload them.

no danger of going off, but in the 80s, the US had nukes flying all over the place, ready to drop, and we had a few accidents (spanish coast, iceland), so we agreed to stop doing that (to meet the quota of bombs in the sky back then, some of those b-52s may have been going up without being in 100% working order).
