Just my $0.02:     Shoot the messenger - that always stops the bad event happening.   Sorry for the sarcasm. I can never see the point in "If we don't tell the enemy how to build a nuclear weapon they never will so we are safer as a result" logic.     Greg - you may call me a "Jihad O'Clue." if you wish.
