Sticking with our recent theme of nuclear bombs, Slate is running an outstanding (and chilling) article by Ron Rosenbaum about semi-automated nuclear weapon fail-deadly launch systems, including the Soviet-era "Doomsday Machine", Peremitr AKA Dead Hand.
The article results from the publication of the book Doomsday Men, which has spawned a worthwhile reading in Wired Blogs and the Times Online. We've also found some nuggets here and here.
