Gentlemen,

Unfortunately all you mention is the nuclear waste site, the implied

danger of trucks traveling beside us on the highways, and the Sierra

Club interview explicitly touting the dangers of such trucks on the

roads.



How about some balance in your so-called news? The proposed waste site

is for LOW LEVEL nuclear waste. The transport of low level nuclear

waste, according to federal authorities, poses no serious danger of

terrorist attacks.  Far better targets for terrorists lie in nearly any

of the scads of tank trucks hauling gasoline, propane, and any number of



vehicles hauling explosives all the time. I think your attempts to

promote so-called news based on such silly fears is most reprehensible

and any reasonable news editor is fully aware of this by now.



How do you suppose the waste products from all hospitals in the

Metroplex get from the hospitals to a waste site and how do you think

this has been accomplished for many years? Do you suppose they just pour



those waste products down the drain?



Come on folks, straighten up. Quit trolling for listeners by propagating



silly fears. You can and usually do a much better job than this kind of

crap.



Sincerely,

Maury Siskel
