I was just researching suitcase nukes and found something very interesting, which, when one puts 2+2 together, it could be ominous -- or I could be over reacting, but please read this, and see if it's you think it's a possibility.

On 12/26 they found a very long thin wire on the Poplar Street bridge over the Mississipi, hangining into the water near a barge, then I read in an old article that to detonate a nuclear suitcase you need a very long thin wire going to the power lines. Could that thin wire be put there with that intent? Why would someone hang a long thin wire on the bridge going into the water? (AQ could have removed the nuke, if there was one)

Part 1:
Mysterious Wire Found on Poplar Street Bridge
http://www.ksdk.com/news/news_article_lc.asp?storyid=52236

The United States Coast Guard will do a sonar check of the Mississippi River near the Poplar Street Bridge later this morning. A mysterious wire caused police to stop cars on the bridge yesterday.

A Coast Guard cutter on routine patrol spotted a thin wire. It was tied to the bridge's guardrail. The wire went into the water, floating beneath a barge. Because of concerns of terrorism, local police and federal officials took no chances.

They stopped traffic as they pulled the wire out of the water. In the end, it was just a wire, nothing more. Police defend their use of extra manpower.

"They (suitcase nukes) are difficult to set up, said Lunev, because a small current of power
is needed to store the weapon safely near its detonation site. This means
the operator of the weapon would need to run a fine wire up to a power
line. If someone discovered the wire powering the weapon and tried to walk
it back, the wire is so fine it would break, he said."

(There is also more info about backpack nukes in the article, which are even smaller than suitcase nukes and are plutonium devices)

I, for one, read the bridge and wire article a few days ago and could not make heads and tails of it. Now, with your second link on wire use for portble nukes, I can only say, hmmmmm. I see the bridge and wire report in a new light!

Mississippi River...New Madrid faultline!

This really does support their claim of the suitcase nukes.

I have some catching up to do on this thread. I was just over at littlegreenfootballs and spotted this.

They didn't leave that wire in tact did they?!

FairOpinion - I thought EXACTLY the same thing about that St. Louis wire when it was discovered.

Let's pray that the apes don't have what we think they have.
