I believe this is old news. Impossible to verify. Praying that it is untrue.
Bunk!
Yet, another kookconian with SURPRISE!! a new book to sell.
More propoganda designed to make it look like Bush isn't doing his job.
If the terrorists had a nuke in the US, we'd know it. They would have blown it off by now.
I can concieve of a couple or few being here, but 20-40 is testing the odds of being caught.
Then again, if suitcase nukes were ever discovered in the US, we'd never hear about it.
Given that, how come the nukes haven't gone off?
Cause they aren't here.
LOL! You win for the understatement of the decade.
It is a simple spelling mistake. Tactical Nooks is what it is supposed to say.

That being said, we can read in the newspaper that lots of stuff gets smuggled in to our country. Could a nuke be brought in? Yes.
This story keeps getting repeated over and over, but with an ever-increasing number of weapons.
If they haven't gone off by now, they aren't going to detonate at all.
BS, they would have been used the instant they got there.
Is Richard Clark's hair on fire yet?
Linda Vester interviewed him a couple of days ago.
He also said al-Qaeda already has some 5,000 operatives in sleeper cells inside the US.
He could be just hawking his book. However, if his is correct, the next 9-11 could be very disasterous.
We can only hope our HS/FBI/CIA operate on much better information than we know.
My area should be out of range of the actual blast, but downwind. I am looking for a low flowering shrub that can take radioactive fallout. Any suggestions?
| Iowa to check for radioactive cargo |

State officials told the Des Moines Register that Iowa will become one of the first states in the country to routinely check trucks for the illegal cargo, as part of an effort to stop terrorists from smuggling bomb-making materials or stolen nuclear weapons. "You are going to see a lot more of this. It is part of the new landscape," said Jack Legler, vice president of the American Trucking... |

I'll consult my contacts on Gamma-Nu Epsilon 5 as soon as my hyrogen powered extra telepathic nikon brain flash freezes up.
These reports have been out ever since 9-11, but not as well reported as Brokaw's insistence that there is no WMD or linkage between Iraq and 9-11.
The threat isn't as significant for a handful or even 40 nukes being depolyed by surprise, as was the intel reports of Iraq constructing, fabricating and deploying a partitioned assembly line to produce such devices with the assembly line mounted on tractor-trailer rigs. This was considered the real threat and even if discovered as evidence of WMD, I don't know of any intel community or national level authority who would be stupid enough to release the proof publicly.
These reports were in the press and international political reporting scene between 1990 and 2000. Prior to 1994, British private press reports indicated Iran had purchased nukes from a fallen USSR, explicitly with the purpose of hitting any US task force north of the Straits of Hormutz and nothing happened later when US Amphibious Task Forces floated off shore during Gulf War I.
On the good news side,...it generally takes substantial industrial hi-tech, maintenance capacity, to maintain such devices in an operable condition. They deteriorate with time. So even if they are provided to a terrorist, unless they are immediately detonated, they become less dangerous as a nuclear blast hazard, than as a local radioactive risk. Additionally, whoever becomes then associated with such a device, has simply committed themselves to being easily identified,...the clandestine nature of the delivery which is the terrorist's major advantage,...as soon as that is lost, he's impotent because he is no longer creating terror, merely a known proponent of evil targetable as an enemy by everybody.
Perhaps the best tactic is simply to accept that we are going to get hit by 40 suitcase nukes and have that threat accepted in the public mind. That way if we get hit, by several over a delayed period of time with threatening communicatos, terror isn't promoted. Instead, a reasoned response to the real threat will help guide our thinking, decisions, and actions appropriately.
It needs to be emphasized that the tactics of terror are promoted by those who advocate revolution, communism, and later socialism. Wherever we observe terrorism, be on the lookout for the machinations of socialists being placed into action to advance their agenda.
