When I first read about this on Drudge I thought it was a link to Scrappleface but it is a true story (I checked it out, this isn’t the CBS News or New York Times ya know):

On Tuesday morning, a retired Catholic priest and two veterans put on clown suits, busted into a nuclear missile launch facility, and began beating the silo cover with hammers, in an attempt to take the Minuteman III missile off-line. Seriously.
The trio — members of the Luck, Wisconsin group Nukewatch — said the break-in was part of “a call for national repentance” for the Hiroshima and Nagaski A-bombings in 1945.
The activists used bolt-cutters to get into the E-9 Minuteman II facility, located just northwest of the White Shield, North Dakota. “Using a sledgehammer and household hammers, they disabled the lock on the personnel entry hatch that provides access to the warhead and they hammered on the silo lid that covers the 300 kiloton nuclear warhead,” the group said in a statement. “The activists painted ‘It’s a sin to build a nuclear weapon’ on the face of the 110-ton hardened silo cover and the peace activists poured their blood on the missile lid.”

So, were they trying to nuke North Dakota in retaliation? How the heck did they get that close to warheads? What if they were real terrorists? I don’t think I will be moving to North Dakota anytime soon!!
Here is what the Army said about the incident:

“At no time was the underground missile’s safety, security or readiness affected in any way,” said Col. Sandra Finan, commander of the 91st Space Wing.

Somehow, I’m not reassured.
