The Los Alamos lab and its computers are operated by the University of California for the Department of Energy. The Department of Energy is responsible for BOTH nuclear power and nuclear weapons programs. Los Alamos is very definitely a weapons lab, not a nuclear power lab. I see nothing wrong with the newspaper reports on this incident. /Ron

A local newspaper here stated in an editorial that a group of 100 teenagers had broken into a top-secret computer at the Pentagon. I suspect ignorance rather than sensationalism was the reason behind this slip-up, though (the editor of this newspaper is not widely known for being on the ball).
