Dirty Bomb: Where, Not When

Just when you thought it was safe to come out of the bunker, along comes H. Thomas Hayden with his article Dirty Bomb: Where, Not When. He states that:

What we have done in Afghanistan and Iraq has not destroyed Al Qaeda. A safe bet would be that there are now more Al Qaeda members today than before 9/11. We have many of Bin Laden's leaders in custody, but there will be more energetic and resourceful insurgent terrorists to take their place.

The news just keeps getting better.

It has been reported that up to 40-50 nuclear bombs are missing from the old Soviet Union. They are what are called "suitcase bombs" or Atomic Demolition Munitions -- ADMs.

Nearly one (1) ADM per state of the USA.

He concludes with:

One last comment: I would like to say that what we face today is not science fiction or scare tactics to sell newspapers. The threat and the dangers to our society are real and we need to better prepared.

However the threat level is still yellow (elevated). No need to worry then!

And it was only last week that:

The American media was saturated last week with images of four Chinese said to be travelling with two Iraqis across the US to Boston where, it was implied, they were planning to attack the city with a so-called dirty bomb.
