Loose Lips awards, Vol III

Wow, it's been a while since I've done the Loose Lips Sink Ships awards. I can't think of a more deserving candidate for the award today than outgoing Health and Human Services Secretary and former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson. Thompson is not a man known for carefully chosing his words, and today would be a good example. To wit:
"For the life of me, I cannot understand why the terrorists have not attacked our food supply because it is so easy to do,"
Uff da. Tommy, why don't you make it even easier by telling them how to do it. This is clearly an example of loose lips that could conceivably hurt or kill Americans. Freedom of speech is wonderful thing, but so is knowing when to keep your trap shut.
