9 October 2004 - plutonium in France 2
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
Greenpeace: Ah! My cue cards! Thank the rainbow! Can I
try again?
host: Go ahead, this is Pounce Counterpounce!
engineer: OK. What should be done with the plutonium?
Greenpeace: Look at these shocking photos of a fake
broken plutonium container after a simulated accident!
engineer: Um....
Greenpeace: We were able to see the transport convoy through
binoculars, proving it is vulnerable to terrorist attack.
engineer: Nah, the security to keep protestors away will
stop mere terrorists cold. So Greenpeace proposes that the plutonium
should be put in long-term storage?
Greenpeace: World efforts should focus on halting nuclear
weapons proliferation. The transport of plutonium through France
clearly demonstrates a global security threat.
engineer: You’re stonewalling. What should be done with
the plutonium that already exists?
host: Look at them at each other’s throats!
Greenpeace: Our mission is to serve as the voice of
the planet.
engineer: And the planet is against every possible course
of action?
host: I know! The easy solution is to detonate the bombs.
engineer: [looking at host] I can think of one target.
host: Tooth and claw!
