Silicon Graphics, one of the nation's premier computer makers, is admitting that it may have been duped into selling supercomputers to a Russian laboratory that designs nuclear weapons. Edward McCracken, the chairman of Silicon Graphics, says his company "made some serious judgemental errors" when it shipped two small supercomputer systems to Russia. The U.S. Attorney's office in San Jose, CA. has opened an investigation. NPR's John McChesney reports.
