:I don't know if it's fair to call him "the man who built the atomic bomb," and in fact I'd like to see a source for ''that'' characterization. If you had to pick one person to fit that phrase, I'd have thought it would have been General Leslie Groves. But I don't believe for a moment that the U. S. would have built the bomb without ''both'' of them. And I think that afterwards the nation was ''shockingly'' ungrateful to '''both''' of them. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 14:28, 5 March 2007 (EST)

:: Yes, the article needs a little more balance. I don't think that there is any doubt that Oppenheimer's strong communist connections made him a security risk. Whether or not he was actually a Soviet spy is a matter of some debate. Some stuff should be moved to a separate article on the atomic bomb. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 15:16, 5 March 2007 (EST)
