JustPiper, oceanview and Sean: what do you think jerseygirl's post? Why do you think such a nuke would not have been set off by now? Assuming that this is true and the Feds believe a nuke may be in place, do you think that there really was a letter full of demands that was sent to the White House, and that this is what al qaeda is waiting for?

I was reluctant to post it because it was from another forum-I felt like I was violating the poster's privacy. However, over the past I've noted that their site links to FR and sometimes they quote from us. The information the poster presented is, imho, Extremely important.

Donna, I think anything is possible but I would think if they've had some time they would have been able to locate this nuke

Can you guid me to the post that said the WH has been sitting on this.

This is plausible being we don't deal with blackmail from terrorists

I sure am interested in this theory of a letter to the WH though

when I see stuff like this, I do not discount it out of hand, but rather, let's ask some questions (assume we are talking about a full blown nuke here):

so they have a suburban ready to go at a moments notice. at what moment? after the weapon goes off? it will be too late by then, for this to be effective, they would have to be tipped in advance. so a wall street journal reporter knows this? what about political leaders, do they know this? certainly if someone like a WSJ reporter knows this, there must be a large number of people higher in the food chain then some reporter who do also. do they want to die? any evidence of their families moving? wouldn't there be a large circle of the elites who knew this too? and wouldn't that circle be growing everyday, as more and more of them told their friends and neighbors? or are all the people "in the know" content to keep it to themselves and just let everyone except their immediate family die?

what are their demands? why wouldn't they have made such demands right after 9/11, before so many of them got killed and captured, when the US was at its weakest point?

too many things don't connect. are their threats? sure. could they pull off something much lower tech, like a dirty bomb or taking down planes? clearly yes. should we continue to watch and listen, absolutely.

Donna Lee - if they DO have nukes, it is quite possible that they are waiting to use them at a time that would have maximum impact - politically and economically.

There's also more - MUCH more - if you consider that we're not dealing with AQ as a bunch of crazy Islamic radicals, but actually proxies for another nation state (eg: Russia or China). I read an article on this earlier (will post in a few min if I can find it) that put all of this in an entirely new - and absolutely terrifying - light. And, if what I read is indeed the case - there is a very good and logical reason that they haven't pushed the big red button - YET.

Found this and am now REALLY concerned.

Puts everything in an entirely new light, and makes perfect and total (yet terrifying) sense.

If true, we are much bigger trouble than any of us thought.
