Hi Charles, as you were just saying about Censorship....
CH> RW>All you need to make a fission bomb is approx. 30 lbs
CH>   >of U235, a steel tube, about 5 lbs of TNT and a strong
CH>   >case to hold it.  That is the 'ingredients' of the
CH>   >weapon dropped on Hiroshima.
CH> 
CH> RW>The problems with making a nuclear device isn't finding
CH>   >out how to build it or even building it.  The problems
CH>   >are 1) obtaining the necessary amount of pure U235 (or
CH>   >U238); 2) getting the U235 into the proper mass and
CH>   >shape; 3) living long enough to do #1 and #2.
CH> ARGUENDO ONLY, suppose I was to offer to trade you the
CH> instructions on what to do with those materials for some of your
CH> materials?  Should I be prevented from completing the exchange if I
CH> have not stated any unlawful intent?  But what if you know that I am
CH> (ARGUENDO ONLY) a member of a terrorist group who has not stated any
CH> specific intent? or; a member of a terrorsit group who has confided
CH> to you some unlawful intent? 
I would venture that if I was a group that had possession of the
materials, I already have the instructions.
