Kinda makes the commercial during the 2002 Superbowl where Bush stated that taking drugs in a sense supported terrorism seem a little understated afterall.

"When President George W. Bush signed the Drug-Free Communities Act in 2002, he asserted, "If you quit drugs, you join the fight against terror in America." During the 2002 Superbowl, in the aftermath of 9/11, Bush's Office of National Drug Control Policy aired two TV ads asking the simple question, "Where do terrorists get their money?" The answer: "If you buy drugs, some of it might come from you."

They should put 40 feet of reinforced concrete beneath that 15 foot tall twin fence.

That's why real Americans grow their own.

Here we go again...nukes in the tunnel, into the US. Complete ignorance of the reality of weapons handling, sizes, complexity, etc.

Yep, the black market for drugs has made it a real money maker. Wonder what could be done to take the profit out of drugs?

BTW I don't know much about the source on this...only that he is a former NSA agent and apparently doesn't like Bush....so keep that in mind.

Thanks for giving this its own thread.

Radioactivity is the FIRST thing they should have checked for.

Senior intelligence sources are concerned that the Department of Homeland Security and the Energy Department's Nuclear Emergency Search Teams (NESTs) have failed to conduct tests for radioactivity in the Mexico-California tunnel. Their fears have been heightened with the Super Bowl in Detroit on Sunday.

Big surprise. This is what weak border security does for America.

Could have been used to transport Hostess Ho Ho's for all this guys knows. Since they found 2 tons of Marajuana in the tunnel, I suspect it was for drugs

informed U.S. intelligence sources

Senior U.S. intelligence officers

Intelligence insiders

Notice these "informed" "senior" "insiders" never have names or position titles.

If they did smuggle in nukes, they're just smuggling in nukes that Americans refused to smuggle in.

If the Bush admin is worried about the money spent on drugs going to terrorism, perhaps taking action that makes it less profitable would make sense. If the federal war on drugs were ended and people could legally import marijuana, etc. or your typical toker could grow a few of his own plants, what would be the incentive to smuggle them in? The states would still have their laws. But those should be removed as well.

No, I'm not a drug user and never have been.

"Senior intelligence sources are concerned that the Department of Homeland Security and the Energy Department's Nuclear Emergency Search Teams (NESTs) have failed to conduct tests for radioactivity in the Mexico-California tunnel."

Huh, what does that mean? Once any nuclear material is moved out of the tunnel there won't be any measurable radiation in the tunnel. And if any senior officials were really concerned about a nuclear weapon, nobody in the federal government would have "failed" to do anything. The case would obviously be top priority and everybody would be working 24/7 to solve it. If any real senior intelligence officials actually believed that a nuke had been smuggled through that tunnel, we would now be seeing a huge amount of law enforcement activity in southern California, and I don't see any reports of that happening. I give the smuggled nuke scenario less than a 1% probability of being true.

Like they couldn't carry a suitcase nuke through that huge hole in the fence that Sean Hannity showed us.

That's ridiculous. Why is it so difficult for the administration to take a firm stance in favor of tightening border security?
