Thank God George W. Bush is President and that We're Led by Strong-on-Security GOP Leaders, Not Namby-Pamby Liberal Democrats

Opps, I think Rush and and Drudge and Faux News and their ilk missed this one:
An ex-employee of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, in Arizona, allegedly downloaded training software to his laptop while he was in Iran. The software was downloaded from a Maryland-based contractor to the nuclear plant. It contained information about the Palo Verde facility: control rooms, reactors, and design. It was used to simulate situations for training at the site. Why the ex-engineer downloaded the software is not known. What is troubling is this person's ability to access the software after his employment at the site ended.

More:
The allegations center on former Palo Verde engineer Mohammad Alavi, 49, who is accused in a recently unsealed federal affidavit of traveling to Tehran last year and downloading, from a Maryland-based Palo Verde vendor, software that contained details of the plant. Those included information about control rooms, reactors and design. The software was used to simulate situations for training.

Alavi is an Iranian native who has lived in the United States as a naturalized citizen since 1976. He was arrested earlier this month in Los Angeles upon returning from Iran and is being held without bail.
