On Hardball tonight Chris questioned Curt Weldon about the Sales article. He didn't get any denial. matter of fact Rep. Weldon was very graphic in his appearance. He came on with a suitcase bomb! He addressed many things about the Sales article without even knowing about it.
Rep. Weldon has been carrying his "suitcase bomb" around for a long time. It's not based on anything scientific (or anything actually built). It's just a model designed to scare people.
I'm really not trying to downplay the potential dangers of nuclear terrorism. However, Sale is a known liar, and Weldon seems more interested in fear-mongering than in dealing with any actual threats.
Journalists and politicians... can you think of two groups with less credibility?
