Radioactive material is not WMD

Packed around an explosive core and detonated at the site of the world trade center would render a great deal of lower Manhattan uninhabitable for years.

New York City/US would face the choice of bankrupting the city in the demolition/clean up effort or letting the contaminated zone remain unihabited for scores of years. In either case the US financial district would have to be moved out of lower Manhattan.

More accuratley it would be a weapon of mass disruption. Massive economic disruption, which was the original plan.

Let us take your point to its logical conclusion with teh easy shot at Hans Blix. If these were potential WMD items and a WMD site may I ask why we did not send our forces there to secure it from looters? I mean we semt troops to secure the oli ministry building in Baghdad but we had no troops available to secure this WMD site? If this is a WMD site then heads should role for it not being secured as soon as possible--hell it is not even secured by any troops right now!!

Incompetance on display? Court martials and firings are in order?
