[edit] Heisenberg

I see that my edit to add the theory that Heisenberg deliberately failed to develop an atomic bomb has been removed from the article. I only put it in there because without it, the last paragraph makes no sense. As it stands, the article tells readers that Goudsmit denied Heisenberg's claims, but doesn't say that Heisenberg made them, or indeed what they were. If the claims are too controversial for this article, surely their refuting is as well?

For now, I will try the alternate approach of reworking the end of the article to not refute claims not made. Please consider this before reverting that too. Gnfnrf 17:25, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrectly Written?

Is the name ALSOS really incorrectly written in US Army documents? I don't know what the style was then, but these days some documents for internal consumption will write out operational names, objectives, and other operational terms in all caps (i.e., ENDURING FREEDOM, OBJ DOG, PL WHITE [phase line]) --CatCube 75.199.156.64 (talk) 14:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
