Looks like Charlie "GQ" McMillan has some explaining to do about his retaliatory actions against LANL staff who don't follow the LANS LLC party line:

DOE official seeks probe of dissident analyst’s dismissal by nuclear weapons laboratory
A senior Energy Department official has requested a special probe of claims by a U.S. nuclear weapons analyst that one of the nuclear weapons laboratories canceled his security clearances and fired him as punishment for publishing a critique of longstanding U.S. weapons policy.
The request by Under Secretary for Nuclear Security Frank Klotz for an inquiry by the DOE Inspector General into the dismissal in July of James E. Doyle by Los Alamos National Laboratory was disclosed in a Sept. 15 letter from another department official to Doyle’s attorney, Mark Zaid.
In the letter, Poli Mamolejos, director of the DOE’s Office of Hearings and Appeals, wrote that DOE’s “senior leadership takes the issue you raise seriously, and will not tolerate retaliation or dismissals of employees or contractors for the views expressed in scholarly publications.”

,,, the "bombshell" paragraph in that article:
"That message (Doyle's) conflicted with the laboratory’s principal work developing nuclear weapons, but the laboratory’s security experts cleared it for publication. Then, after hearing complaints from a Republican staff member of the House Armed Services Committee, more senior laboratory officials opted to classify the article retroactively, dock Doyle’s pay, and cancel his clearances." (News Article)
So they appear to have retroactively decided something was classified and then punished Doyle for something lab security people had previously OK'd for him to publish? He followed the security policy rules and then got clobbered for it?
Amazing! What type of low-life scum do these things at the NNSA labs and why are they allowed to keep THEIR clearances? This story stinks to high heaven! Has the corruption and rot at the top of the NNSA management chain become this evil?

Much more to this story than has been known to date. All press reports are wrong to a degree. No one will know the true story, even after whatever happens in the courts, just like Wen Ho Lee. Sad.
