This is not the class I would be touting in the psuedo, anti-terrorist age.
If a nuclear-free Iraq graduates from President Bush's "axis of evil" list, could Georgetown University gain admission?
It all depends on those signed up for "How to Build a Nuclear Bomb," a class at the university's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service. On a recent Wednesday, 20 graduate students attended the class, part of a year-long course titled "Nuclear Technologies and Security," at the school's Center for Peace and Security Studies.
Clutching publications such as "Deadly Arsenals," "Avoiding Nuclear Anarchy" and other light reading, the students, a mix of men and women in their twenties dressed in jeans and preppy shirts, crammed into small desks for a two-hour lecture by Charles D. Ferguson, a physicist, former naval officer and scholar who worked at the State Department's nonproliferation bureau and at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
"It definitely sounds like there's a proliferation concern there," a somewhat startled senior White House official said after hearing about the program.
I wonder how long it takes GW and his goons to shut this one down in the name of the "war on terror"?
I have to admit that it takes balls to hold a class like that in this day and age.
