Kyrgyz Plutonium

Kyrgyzstan's National Security Service is investigating the plutonium-239 seizure, and says that it was not of Kazakh origin. Wherever its from, this whole affair just shows how porous Central Asia is to loose nuclear material. The need to manage this problem is the reason I don't speak out strongly against our connections to Central Asian dictators, though I do object when we pretend democracy promotion is the key element to our foreign policy.
