It's a bit of a mistaken idea that the issue with
H bombs is their
"plans".
The method of making an H bomb is widely known.
The problem is not the blueprints. It's creating the necessary
equipment in order to enrich the uranium in the first place. Not a
cheap thing to do. Everyone however knows *how* to do it.
No thats the A-bomb (and even then explosive lenses are
problematical). H-Bomb plane still contain significant elements of
speculation. The various failed attempts to construct them suggest
it's not that easy.
The entire argument about keeping the names of kidnap
victims secret to
me is flat. I do not see the logic behind the belief that it will
preserve their lives in any way, for example.
Well this time around 3 civilians died. Not sure if that counts as successful.
