...maybe. But weird for sure. On Wednesday and Thursday this week, your eye might have caught something strange among the nuclear news. Let's see...

How often has it happened to you that you send an email to the wrong person, or say something nasty in the wrong Skype window, or even to upload some information on the internet when you shouldn't have? This is something likely to happen to any of us, at least to me.

Now, what are the possibilities of this happening to the federal government of the United States? Yes, mistake like this can happen anytime, we are all humans after all. But what is the probability of the US federal government uploading a 266-page 'highly confidential' report onto the internet? I'd say slightly less probable. Especially when the document gives ‘detailed information about hundreds of the nation's civilian nuclear sites and programs, including maps showing the precise locations of stockpiles of fuel for nuclear weapons’ and the US government leaves it online for two full days before withdrawing it. Ok. So big mistakes can happen even to professional experts and even when it might jeopardize the security of a whole nation... unless.... unless they just wanted to try their luck. Yes, that must be it.

Yesterday it was the turn of Canada to try its own luck and test the national media and public opinion: according to Reuters, some Canadian officials "left a binder full of confidential nuclear documents in a television studio". The funniest part is that they did not try to retrieve the documents. Not even after six days. Alright, it might be some political manoeuver, but still the message is pretty clear to me: Greenpeace is not the only one to want an open public debate on Nukes.

So who's next? Let's see what info we mistakenly receive tomorrow...
