Just terrible sadness over this situation.
In the confusion following the earthquake and tsunami that damaged Japan’s Fukushima nuclear complex last March, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said it was standing by to help.
But a trove of e-mails posted on the NRC’s Web site shows an agency struggling to figure out how to respond and how to deal with the American public while cutting through what one official called “the fog of information” coming out of Japan.
Messages show conflict within NRC after Japan earthquake and tsunami. One only needs to visit a few blogs to understand that these people will suffer for a very long time. Fukushima Diary is a deeply emotional journal of what we don’t hear. (Thanks Nom for the link.)

What a terrible thing that help is being forestalled by rumor and, most likely, bureaurats, who translate as “stupid” in any language.

It’s criminal. Unfortunately, I believe that we are seeing this more often than we care to.

The bureacrats have no accountability.
They just past the Buck.
They build in systems so they can pass the Buck.
