#2 So if I got this right, we started a sting over here. When the guy went to Russia and tried to buy the missiles, the Russians found out, and the first thing they did was tell us.

Wow! As someone who stood watch with 16 nuclear missiles aimed at Russia, this is taking me a bit to get my head around. Very cool.

#4 There is no credible information that terrorists don't already have these missiles in the U.S. either. In any case I'm glad the U.S. is running stings like this.
