United States ships non-nuclear ballistic parts to Taiwan

[WayneKerr]

WTF?  Mistakenly?  I think the mistake was letting someone find out.  Just saw breaking news on msnbc...they don't know much...I'll try to find some linkage.  But in the meantime...WTF?

Too soon I guess.  CNN.com was suppossed to have a video link of the press conference from the pentagon.  I guess there are too many users on the stream, because there was an error; technical difficulties.

It did have this text though:

Pentagon on ICBM trigger mishapThe USAF announces that it accidentally shipped four electrical triggers for ICBMs to Taiwan. An investigation follows.

*UPDATE*
Supposedly they sent these instead of helicopter batteries...back in March 2005

:smt017  Really?  Thats all you got?
