This is an excellent analysis from the current edition of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists which is not the rather sensationalistic treatment that we generally get from NEIN and WND.

I find it even more compelling in that this author doesn't really display an agenda.

THANKS to Fair Opinion for pointing to this article:

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A US national of Iraqi origin has been arrested and charged with working as an agent for Saddam Hussein's former regime.

William Shaoul Benjamin, 64, of Los Angeles, was arrested last week on charges "he worked for the former Iraqi regime, which was controlled by Saddam Hussein, and failed to notify the United States Government," the Federal Bureau of Investigation and federal prosecutors said in a statement.

Benjamin allegedly collaborated with the former regime's intelligence service from 1993 to 2001 and was given the code name "9211," the statement said.

Benjamin pleaded not guilty on Monday and his trial is scheduled for November 7.

Under the indictment handed down by a grand jury, Benjamin is charged with conspiracy, making false statements and failing to register as an agent of a foreign government, the statement said."

That is a must read for anyone on this thread or interested in the subject IMO. Prior to 9/11 every year I have been buying all better news magazines that run features on it. This was one issue that I picked up at the store in the last few weeks.

Graham Allison should not be ignored as far as I am concerned. Say what you want about Harvard, but there are some well read people there. His book Nuclear Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe is also a must read and was highlighted on TM #29.
