NOW THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF, AND IT'S NUCLEAR – AT 9:56 A.M. ET:   It is incredible how this slipped by the mainstream media.  Well, maybe not so incredible.  From Reuters: 

BAGHDAD Iraq is searching for "highly dangerous" radioactive material stolen last year, according to an environment ministry document and seven security, environmental and provincial officials who fear it could be used as a weapon if acquired by Islamic State.

The material, stored in a protective case the size of a laptop computer, went missing in November from a storage facility near the southern city of Basra belonging to U.S. oilfield services company Weatherford (WFT.N), the document obtained by Reuters showed and officials confirmed.

A spokesman for Iraq's environment ministry said he could not discuss the issue, citing national security concerns. A Weatherford spokesman in Iraq declined to comment, and the company's Houston headquarters did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

COMMENT:  Not to worry, I'm sure.  Barack Obama is on the case.  And Inspector of the World John Kerry is right behind him.

In fact, this has been a fear for world – that stolen nuclear material might wind up in terrorist hands.  One blast from a so-called "dirty" nuclear bomb could make a small area of a city uninhabitable for years.
