The content was what disturbed me, and since it references a previous article from July 11th, 2005, done before this one I posted, then it is no more than five months old, not very old really.

What disturbed me more than the content, was the fact that I hadn't heard any of these specifics at all. Not on the net, not in email till two weeks ago when I got this, not on the radio, or TV, nothing. THAT is scary. And it sure appears to be credible, given cited specific people who made comments, and sources where the information came from, FBI Consultant Williams, A recent G2 bulletin and that some of the info came from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed after he was captured.

The cousin's husband I got it from is constantly checking things on Truth of Fiction or Snopes or others, and he's constantly telling me things that are bogus and he's the one that sent it to me. I never get things from him that are bogus. That's why I thought I'd post it here, for those who hadn't read it. I didn't think those who had would let me know it. Not everyone has seen it. I hadn't, and I really keep plugged in during the week and hadn't seen this article. I was mostly disturbed by the prospects of it. VERY chilling.

IMHO, we've always assumed that whatever power or authority that might have control over WMD would have enough wherewithal to comprehend the consequences of their behavior with such devices. In situations where lessor authority had such power, it is generally viewed that if those responsible for their use are unreachable or incommunicato, then those higher in authority would recognize their importance and hold them accountable.

If we live in a world where small imam-led groups are able to control such power, then IMHO, we need an intelligence gathering capacity, perhaps amongst all powers and authorities to track those with such power and hold them accountable.

check out some of the FR "Threat Matrix" threads - they go back for years, covering lots of issues regarding terrorism issues in the US.

regarding some of the points your cousin made - soon after 9-11, there was a "tip" that one of these nukes was on its way to NYC. many people got the "tip", one of them being author Christopher Hitchens who went public about it (he didn't believe it).

the bottom line is this - an organization that had all these nukes this claim alleges, would be using them. even the weapons they used on 9-11 - they had to hijack them to obtain. why?

maintaining and hiding a real nuke is not an easy task. there is more to fear from a dirty bomb - you just need material and regular explosives to disperse it.

Many of those things mentioned have been around for years, in the form of dialogs, L/MSM postings, talk shows whatever. That is why some responded as they had. Just because you haven't heard something mentioned in say the past two years on a talk show or current news article does not mean it has not been made public say five or more years ago.
At any rate. You are now informed. Please don't lose sleep over it. Seriously. Let us all prayerfully hope the law inforcement and Intel agencies are getting better equiped to attempt to catch plots from getting beyond that point.
Besides there is nothing we can do about it. The congress is fully aware, even the stupidest amoung them. All you can do is inform perhaps some dimwits with your new found knowledge of the importance of not allowing congress or anyone else to hinder the efforts our intel and law enforcment agencies in their duties to stop bad things from happening. In short given the opportunity inform those that think the crap the L/MSM spouts off on the issue of security verses privacy to be carefull of what they hear. Then site some of your new found knowledge to them. If they wish to not listen you did your duty. Wipe the dust off your shoes and move on.

Its a World Net Daily article from this past summer. They did a whole series...How much was true, how much was scare-mongering? How much was headline attention?

welcome aboard texaspatriot8
