I've read this article all the way through, twice. It's very, very intriguing.
In no particular order, some thoughts:
> The Asahi News piece struggles to achieve impartiality. I don't think there's any question but that its author(s) would PREFER to come down on the side of TEPCO, the Japanese government, and that nation's natural desire for total independence in this crisis -- there are some subtle linguistic cues there, if you look hard enough, particularly when the article focuses in on the communications between Japanese and American counterparts, Secretary of State Clinton's and President Obama's roles and positions, and, most markedly, when Prime Minister Kan's feelings about the SDF water-dumping operations are discussed -- but they are more than balanced out by the story's damning perspective of Japan's early response to the emergency overall. This sort of conflict is the Hallmark of TRULY "fair and unbiased" reporting in my experience -- Asahi's done a good job with this.
> I think we can put some of the Wilder and more unnerving conspiracy theories about the role of the U.S. Government in this emergency to rest, somewhat. I don't think "they" -- as if the sprawling, schizophrenic, multifarious U.S. Government could EVER be boiled down to a single perspective, agenda or overriding priority -- are KNOWINGLY putting the American population at unreasonable risk. The point the Asahi article makes about the 80,00 U.S. troops in Japan -- not to mention, their dependents, support personnel, and equipment -- is a good one. In the event that the proverbial shit was about to hit the theoretical fan, that's the FIRST thing ANY governing body would want to do: Get our uniformed services out of harm's way, fast, and bring 'em home to be reputposed into a domestic security force, to make sure the center holds and some nominal semblance of order is maintained as things begin to spiral very badly out of control. Every so often, certain Government agencies and affiliates, such as the War College, DARPA (or whatever they're calling it, now) and the RAND Corporation game these kinds of scenarios out. This is among their biggest mandates, their most immediately pressing priorities: Maintain a functioning society and the Government.that leads it. In the event of REAL national emergency, you'll see troops deployed on U.S. soil, Constitutional or not -- posse comitatus only applies to folks who are still breathing. When the survival of the Republic is threatened, you'll know.
So this leaves two possibilities: Either "they" -- "They", actually, the All-Powerful "They" -- on all their knowledge, wisdom and discernment, DON'T THINK FUKUSHIMA POSES A THREAT TO THE CONTINUING EXISTENCE OF THE NATION, and they're RIGHT... Or, they DON'T THINK FUKUSHIMA POSES A THREAT TO THE CONTINUING EXISTENCE OF THE NATION... and they're WRONG. (I should also point out that IF, in fact, it IS the latter...there's probably not a single thing any of us can do about it, individually or collectively. IF the greatest scientific minds, military authorities, industrial titans, and political figures this nation has at its disposal are in error, have miscalculated, and gambled wrong... We ALL lose, period.
> I have NEVER been more convinced that this crisis is simply beyond the capabilities of ANY single company, industry, or, even, country, to adequately, competently, efficiently, thoroughly, and in a timely fashion, address, much less successfully navigate or overcome. If EVER there was a moment in our time for organizations like the IAEA, the WHO, the U.N., etc., to justify their existence, it is NOW. They haven't seized that opportunity, yet, and instead seem to be intent on playing an increasingly lethal game of radioactively "hot" potato, more's the pity.

You appear to be referring to the US nation, rather than the actual victims of the nuclear industries lies and cover-ups, the nation of Japan.
1. Japan is stuffed, not least by the lies of their own political elite who have unnecessarily condemned hundreds of thousands, if not millions, more to death and cancer, by their inaction, evasions and outright lies. More than would have already died and suffered cancer if informed correctly and evacuated properly.
2. Chris Busby thinks that Europe and the US are not at risk.
3. Dr. Caldicott points out that if the rest of the six remaining fuel pools go up and the Fukushima site has to be abandoned then all bets are off for a good percentage of the population of the northern hemisphere. But a) you'll have some time to contemplate the error of your ways and b) the error of your government's ways and b) life is terminal anway. Admittedly that sad / happy (!?) fact is easier to face if you are over the hill, on the way down. ; )

To respond:
"You appear to be referring to the US nation, rather than the actual victims of the nuclear industries lies and cover-ups, the nation of Japan."
Well, in a word, yes... Indeed. Not to be parochial, but it is the United States -- to a lesser extent, Canada, since it too is in North America, but, ultimately, America -- that I am principally concerned with, though not to the exclusion of sympathies for ALL societies in and bordering the Pacific Ocean, the Northern Hemisphere, and, to a certain extent, the world in general. I was born in America, am a citizen of America, have lived most of my life in America, have served in America's military (including during wartime), have an American passport, pay taxes in and to America, intend to live out the remainder of my days in America, and will, with God's grace, ne buried in American soil. Even more importantly than all that combined, my wife and child live in America, so I am mainly interested in what the ongoing Japan nuclear event will mean FOR America in general, and for my American family in particular.
And it, in ANYONE's eyes, that makes me an ignorant, selfish, ugly American, I am happy to confess that I don't give a damn. I have enormous concern for what Fukushima will mean for and do to the entirety of the human race, Japan especially. But that empathy is absolutely minimal compared to my distress about what is happening and may yet transpire here. That being said: I am OUTRAGED that addressing the Fukushima crisis (and, to a lesser extent, the general disastrous state of Japan) was not IMMEDIATELY AND IRREVOCABLY put at the very TOP of America's foreign- (and even domestic-) policy agenda from DAY ONE. NO ONE has been a more stalwart supporter of America's ill-managed adventures in Afghanistan and Iraq than I. NO ONE has questioned the advisability of America's recent so-called "stimulus" spending more than I. NO ONE has opposed the notion of American Government-conceived, -funded and -operated health care more than I. NO ONE has disputed the necessity of the many American Governmental regulatory, oversight and investigatory bodies and agencies more than I. (I am, traditionally, what can be described as an overwhelmingly -- though not totally -- libertarian-leaning, strict-constructionist-espousing, federalism-embracing, right-wing ultraconservative radical moonbat, and a Bible-thumping Southern Baptist too boot -- about the furthest extreme possible from the stereotypical "Berkeley" aficionado, which ought to make my respect for and trust in the BRAWM Team and the UCB scientific community all the more noteworthy... I am by no means a fan of the "left coast", generally.)
In the last three months, I have either come to very seriously question, or have entirely changed my position, with regard to EVERY SINGLE ONE of those perspectives I mentioned above.
Compared to the crisis at Fukushima, I have come to believe ALL of America's foreign military adventures to be a sideshow, a distraction and an unconscionable waste of resources. I want President Obama and the Congress to IMMEDIATELY fund a trillion-dollar expansion of America's military, environmental monitoring and protection, health-care infrastructure, and, perhaps most critically, food and supply chain safety and regulatory mechanisms, debt ceiling and fiscal consequences be damned. I IMPLORE the American Government to begin to fund a MASSIVE expansion of cancer research, screening, and treatment, to get as far ahead of the potential consequences of this disaster as possible and in preparation for the explosion of disease that I now expect to witness in my lifetime. And I DEMAND that the American Government step up and take charge of all manner of investigatory, evaluational and interventionist resources to ensure the safety of all consumable products made, transported and sold in this country, and several other media besides.
...Did I mention that I used to be a HUGE supporter of nuclear energy, not to mention weaponry? What strange days we live in.
Here's something I've never mentioned before: I only "gave up" the military due to health reasons. A number of years ago, I was in a rather serious car crash that crushed my right shoulder. For several years following, I continued to serve in the Naval Reserve, but it became increasingly difficult to manage the PT (physical training) tests that are required every six months, and in my late twenties, I became unable to pass the pull-up and push-up segments of my tests. I applied for, and received, deferments and waivers, but after three failed evaluations on a row, I could no longer in good conscience continue to receive paychecks and promotions from a military I could no longer truly "serve". At eleven and a half years, I opted out of my Reserve contract. It was nine months before 9/11.
I lost friends that day, and since I spoke fluent Russian and knew that would be an asset to a U.S. military likely to be establishing a more or less permanent presence in the "ickistans", I tried to re-up, aiming to become a warrant officer in the Army. I couldn't pass the physical.
So when I say that I wish I could go into a military recruitment office TODAY, at the age of 39, bum right shoulder and kid and wife and all, and volunteer to go to Fukushima and do whatever they would allow me to do -- dig trenches or pile rocks or pour concrete or pump water or, Hell, just stand in for someone actually VALUABLE, taking a dose so that someone with real, necessary SKILLS could actually ACCOMPLISH something WORTHWHILE -- to expose myself to a potentially lethal dose to help ensure the safety and continued existence of my family, my country, and my world, and, yes, the people of Japan -- maybe that means something. I have a great deal of understanding for those noble Japanese pensioners who are begging to be made useful at the plant -- and for the frustration they must feel at being so completely ignored, undervalued and dismissed.
This is what militaries are FOR. Fukushima is a clear and present danger to the WORLD, America included, perhaps especially so. Troops die so civilians don't have to.
I wish I could be there. I really do.
But, no question about it: Such an act would be selfish, not. noble. I have no illusions about that. I am no hero, aspirational or otherwise. Such an act would be for MY benefit -- to ensure the safety of people that matter to ME -- my family. I would be pleased if such an effort would also, in some small way, benefit the people and nation of Japan. But this is self-preservation, not charity. I feel terrible for the Japanese people... but I'm not one of them.
To your other points: I, too, believe very strongly that Japan will be decimated, or worse, NY this. They are finished as a world power. Their way of life is about to be radically and permanently altered. Their standard of living is about to plummet, as will their average lifespan (previously the world's highest). I even think it's possible they will become in large part a refugee people.
They are, as you put it, "stuffed, indeed. And, yes -- while much of the consequences of Fukushima could not have been avoided, I too believe that their government, by allowing TEPCO to remain in control of the inept response to the crisis, has been criminally negligent and has been an accessory to the wholesale slaughter of the Japanese population. Under different conditions, what they have overseen might well be called genocide, if not national suicide.
I do not necessarily March in lockstep with Christopher Busby, or anyone else, for that matter. I'm glad he feels so sanguine but I do not share his level of (relative) calm and certainty.
I agree with Dr. Caldicott in her assessment of the ABSOLUTE worst-case scenario. Moreover, I think we're already about 25% of the way there.
Life is, indeed, a terminal condition. [Grin] That does not make me a fan of dancing on cliff faces, however.
You are entitled to your opinion about the Swahili story, of course. I respectfully disagree with your assessment.

Sean,
I have to say that I agree with your post and links!!!! The reality is what it is. Let's cut through all the propaganda and see it with real human eyes. After all we are talking about real human lives, the opposition thinks in terms of balance sheets and stock prices.
It is too bad Busby has to resort to the likes of Alex Phony Balony to get his words on a broadcast, never the less we can see the facts, and trim the greasy fat off (host). I suppose MSM would not have any part of Busby on their broadcasts. I love the man though, I really do admire his work and courage, he is up against a behemoth, check out his myspace page, for some of his songs. He plays a ton of instruments old folk music from Wales.
Anyway, stay on it, keep the articles coming for us.

This concrete Asahi article is just talking about the US-Japan relations during the crisis. They have many others addressing the response of Tepco and the government to the crisis.
