The alleged "non nuclear" test about to take place in Nevada, the pentagon not so transparently climbs on the Holy War bandwagon with Operation Divine Strake. This test, though the pentagon waffles on it's purpose, is to test the tactical nuclear potential of a "bunker buster" weapon.
It is odd that they chose to christen this test with a quasi religious name and then even more ironic they will use ammonium Nitrate and Fuel Oil, the favorite weapon of terrorists to accomplish the nuclear effects.
Residents of nearby Pahrump Nevada and Las Vegas are worried that this test will disturb much of the contaminated soil at the former nuclear test site. This could spread a cloud of latent fallout over the area. Pentagon officials assure residents that there is no need to worry. Just remember these are the same officials who said the war in Iraq would be over in "6 months at the outside".
If I lived in the area I would get a couple of Geiger Counters just to make sure.
