I think that with the dirty-bomb suspect, we are now beginning to get a picture of terrorists coming to the US to recruit people they think are capable of various kinds of terrorist acts and willing to spend big money on the recruits. Flying some Chicago gang punk around the world and setting him up with a wife in Egypt is not cheap. This kind of money and organization could easily buy a disgruntled scientist and maybe even someone within a government agency designed to protect the US.
What I can not understand, because it defies logic, is why Tom D, who was the target of a assasination attempt, isn't publicly and politically ripping the FBI, the Bush Administration, the CIA, the NSA up one side and down the other to expose their incompetence in finding the folks who tried to kill him. He has never been shy about pointing out things the thought the Bush Administration should have done. This is the perfect opportunity.
My conclusion is that he has been told who tried to kill him and Tom D has decided that he doesn't want to leak that information. For that hypothesis to be correct, the answer has to be pretty upsetting even to a partisan democrat, who cares little about the country.
This does make sense. In which case they will be scared to confront/arrest the Arab/islamic/muslim muhamid worshiper as to not hurt his/her feelings.
