Something else Kerry is doing today or tomorrow: speaking of loose nukes..

[MH1]

I saw a comment earlier about how busy he is, then I saw this and thought of that immediately, and had to smile.

Also, this ties in with the dailykos diary that was posted about earlier (the one about loose nukes that was "rescued").

It's short so I can't post much

9-11 families lobby on terrorist threat
By Jonathan E. Kaplan

The Nuclear Threat Initiative, a think tank, has teamed up with relatives of people killed in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, to launch a project to raise awareness of the threat of nuclear terrorism, said Cathy Gwin, NTI’s spokesman.

The project, “Turning the D into an A,” comes from last year’s report from the 9/11 Public Discourse Project, which gave the U.S. government a ‘D’ in its efforts to secure nuclear material and weapons.

Lemack and others will meet Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and John Kerry (D-Mass.), Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, and Rep. Curt Weldon (R-Pa.). They also will meet Speaker Dennis Hastert’s chief of staff, Scott Palmer, and other lawmakers’ aides.

(Weldon presence is interesting but won't add much of use. At the event in Media last Sunday, Richard Ben-Veniste hammered Weldon about failing to fulfill his responsibilities on the 9/11 commission recommendations. Maybe Weldon's starting to realize that this is an election year.)
