Now we're closing in on worst case scenarios. IMO it is likely that Iraq got access to Pakistani nuclear weapons data and designs courtesy of this guy.

At which point the only question is how much weapons-grade fissionable material Iraq has. xSoviet stuff doesn't count due to its higher manufacturing impurities causing it to decay into ineffective fizzles at this point. I read someplace that Iraq had almost enough to make a bomb when the Gulf War started.

Our port security and conquering what's left of Iraq just shot to #1 on my priority list. Ahead of finishing off Osama bin Laden.

< lead foil hat on >The guy has been in Trashcanistan for several months. He knows how to build a nuke. If enough U235 is available then I have no doubt he could have built one. Pu239 would be a bit harder, but still feasible. This is the first thing I've seen regarding nuclear stuff (other than radiation bombs) that looks credible. < /lead >

I nominate this guy as the first customer of the "new and improved" CIA. A heart attack or accidental drowning could happen. You just never know.

I think the port facilities of Washington D.C. and Alexandria VA and all other ports on the Potomac may just have become obsolete.
