I will say corrupt. What is falsifying safety reports other than corrupt? And how did they get them through the system?

And there was a story in today's Oregonian about not only were they short of the booties to wear but the safety suits in general. How could they not get supplies like this in?

I would add so stupid that words do not describe it..I was talking to a journalist yesterday and asking her for words that are beyond inept, incompetent etc. There are no words for this level of incompetence. And the Japanese people, and especially the workers in the complex, need to know that we are watching this and speaking up for their safety and welfare. They are undoubtedly unable to speak up without fear of reprisal in some situations.

Well, I hope the fix that they are trying with newspapers works. mg
