Good show!

I say! Jolly good show America! Apparently a 266 page report, detailing information on hundreds of the nation's civilian nuclear sites and programs, and maps showing the location of stockpiles of fuel for nuclear weapons, has accidentally been made public. Well, for a short while anyway....

While several nuclear experts claim the information in the document doesn't pose a big security threat - the information is described as 'sensitive, not classified' - one wonders why the words "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL SAFEGUARDS SENSITIVE" are marked across the top of each page, if the document has to be withdrawn from public viewing.

Says former Director of Central Intelligence, John M Deutch: "These screw-ups happen".

Quite. On that comforting thought, this is Nelson Ramsbottom wishing you sweet dreams.
