The Lie?![]() Hannity’s breathless (and overstated) warnings didn’t end there. “Now this as the Golden State braces for a potentially dangerous radioactive plume coming from Japan,” he claimed. |
![]() According to a story published in the Chicago Tribuneon March 17th, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was quoted as indicating that, screening passengers and cargo coming into the United States for radiation is an ongoing procedure.In other words, that’s nothing new. According to a DHS official, “The agency handles more than half a million radiation alarms a year, though many are related to medical procedures.” But further, regarding the claim by Hannity that a “plume” of radiation is headed toward the United States, Kirk Smith, Professor of global environmental health at UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health, has clearly stated that, “”Even after the Chernobyl accident, which released a million times more radiation than has been released in Japan and produced a plume that went all over the planet, there was absolutely no risk to people in the United States.” |
