Minot Nuke Debacle getting media attention

Pogo has been following this incident for quite awhile. From their blog:

The Washington Post also ran a story on the two officers, who took home classified components for underground launch control centers–a breach that is troubling not only for its national security implications, but also for the secretive way in which it was handled.

Last month, POGO received a tip about the launch device incident.  But when reporters called for information, the Air Force denied knowing anything about it.  Now we see that the Air Force was not being entirely honest.

Instead of admitting to the investigation, the Air Force pulled a bait and switch, telling reporters about another, less serious, security breach in which officers were caught sleeping at a missile alert facility.  It turns out that the Air Force was also investigating the launch device incident, and that our source had accurately described the nature of that ongoing investigation.  We now know that the launch device incident happened in 2005, but that the investigation into the matter is only now being reported.

CNN and WaPo are also running with this story. Finally, the MSM picks it up.
