Re[2]: Newspaper article on Plutonium




     Maybe someone from the HPS and/or DOE should make first contact with 
     60 Minutes.  We seem to spend most of our time trying to respond to 
     allegations already made rather than presenting the science first and 
     making the anti's play catch up.  As a whole the HPS needs to be more 
     proactive in its communications rather than reactive.
     
     BTW, reporters are generally not liable for their stories because they 
     are protected under their First Amendment Rights of freedom of speech. 
      This is probably not true when they damage a person or group 
     intentionally such as in slander (i.e., Richard Jewel).
