Wackenhut Again

Dear God,

Does it bother you that the CEO of Wackenhut, the security firm guarding Vermont Yankee, has just resigned? He has done so in the wake of the scandal that broke when a New York TV station showed a video of an entire roomful of Wackenhut guards sleeping on-duty at the Peach Bottom nuclear power plant. In the meanwhile, the NRC has confirmed that Wackenhut's guards have also slept at Florida's Turkey Point plant—and that at Turkey Point they routinely take turns sleeping and serving as lookouts for each other.

If it doesn't bother you that the company with the contract to protect our plant from terrorism apparently cultivates a culture of gross negligence among their guards and is only now beginning to have second thoughts about it now that their stock prices have fallen and people near Turkey Point are taking to the streets, Lord, I'm good with it, too.

Amen,

Fake-Rob
