what can they say? the threat is not LIKELY, its POSSIBLE. they sent NEST teams to 5 cities over new years, they came up with nothing, should they have caused panic in those 5 cities by pre-announcing it?

Yes, people habituate. No one can stay afraid forever. When reality becomes routine, panic is decreased. It's time to tell the truth...

Yep. If it comes out that NEST is out looking for loose nukes, then we should know (IMHO of course).

There's too much damned tiptoing through the tulips going on here. If AQ is threatening nukes...come out and TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Let us plan. Let's take action. And let's go find the things.
