When I read the headline Congress provided with report on potential nuclear targets, I thought it referred to a list drafted of domestic sites that bad guys might want to blow up.

No, it's a list drafted of sites abroad that we might want to blow up.

I suppose in some way it's just a restructuring of how it was for a long time, just bringing our bombs up to date. During the Cold War, each warhead, silent in its silo, certainly had a specific destination in mind. That list has been rather well obsolete for a while.

Such rationalization doesn't make me that much more comfortable, though.

Wow. I want to live in a country where people petition the president about the nation's contraceptives being too noisy.
