No, DrCarl, you are not the only one. Sean said that FNC was reporting that the threat was a dirty bomb. The problem is where? When? How?
To: DrCarl
I heard Carl Cameron on Fox News tell Brit Hume that there is good information from Argentina that nuclear material was smuggled through Bogata, Colombia and then across the Mexican border into the US. He said the most troublesome information has been gathered within the last 48 hours. I expect a 'dirty bomb' incident within the next 72 hours. Where will it be and what will you do? Weather patterns in the US generally move west to east. Get on the west side of any incident asap?

Yikes, sorry I saw this thread. Sometimes I think it is better to be in the dark so to speak. I long for the bomb shelters of the 60's.

Weeks ago I made a comment here about the danger of nuclear materials from hospital radiotherapy departments in relation to an Arab Radiology Resident who was temporarily arrested in Texas and then released.
Look at Arab doctors in this country.
SEND ALL MOSLEMS OUT OF THIS COUNTRY BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!

There are two basic categories of "dirty" nuclear weapons.
One is a nuclear weapon in which the nuclear explosion is designed not to fully "burn" or spend all of the nuclear material. This leads to fallout that contains unspent radio active particles. These particles will typically have the half life of the material from which they are made. The effect of a weapon like this is to leave the area surrounding the blast contaminated. Contrast this to a neutron bomb which is very clean by comparison, emits a lot of radiation but leaves an area that can be re occupied in about two weeks.
The other dirty bomb is not a nuclear bomb at all. It is just radioactive material that is blown up by conventional weapons. The effect of this is a much smaller area is contaminated. It is un likely that a blast could be large enough to contaminate millions or hundreds of thousands. If wind conditions were right and the blast was large enough then the contamination could extend to thousands, and of course if it were detonated in a crowded city then thousands would be affected. The bigger danger is the spreading of the material via wind or water which would make containment and clean up tougher.

I guarantee that the people who do this will not be U.S. citizens. If we sit by and let our enemy waltz in to our country, than we are to blame. All non-citizens for the Middle East should be deported. Now.

Wonder if that's why we dropped that big bomb today ....like a warning don't mess wif us....

If this occurs, I wonder what our response would be:
A) Retaliate in kind?
or
B) Pass more legislation restricting our civil liberties and being even more careful not to anger members of the 'coalition'?
