Rules Would Limit Lawsuits

Los Angeles Times: Army Accepting More Recruits With Criminal, Drug Histories: "Last year, almost 1 in 6 Army recruits had a problem in their background that would have disqualified them from military service. In order to accept them, the Army granted special exceptions, known as recruiting waivers....[T]he largest increase was among recruits with a history of either criminal conduct or drug and alcohol problems."

No waiver allowing them to get student loans, though.

Extracting Plutonium from Nuclear Reactor Spent Fuel: "While some supporters of a U.S. reprocessing program believe it would help solve the nuclear waste problem, reprocessing would not reduce the need for storage and disposal of radioactive waste. Worse, reprocessing would make it easier for terrorists to acquire nuclear weapons materials, and for nations to develop nuclear weapons programs. "
