Is it me, or are you noticing that there is a lot of nuclear talk in the last month? The word shows up in too many articles.
from your last link:
He called on President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin to accelerate
U.S.-assisted nuclear security efforts in Russia and to overcome bureaucratic
entanglements that have retarded progress in the effort.
Security has been upgraded for only about 26 percent of an estimated 600 tons
(tonnes) of weapons-useable nuclear material in Russia that exists outside nuclear
weapons.
'DISASTER' WARNING
CIA Director Porter Goss told the Senate in February that enough nuclear material
to build a weapon is missing from Russian storage sites.
"Unless we greatly elevate our effort and the speed of our response, we could
face disaster," Nunn added.
Monday's forum was sponsored by the 9/11 Public Discussion Project, a nonprofit
group founded by the bipartisan commission that investigated the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks on Washington and New York.
Many of the commission's recommendations for reforming U.S. intelligence have
been embraced by the Bush administration or were formulated into law last year by
Congress.
Former commissioners are holding a series of forums this summer to look at how
the administration and Congress have implemented those recommendations. They
intend to issue a "report card" around the anniversary of the attacks.
Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network and allied militant groups hope to buy or steal
nuclear material for a weapon that could be used in an attack that would dwarf
Sept. 11, intelligence officials have said.
"A terrorist nuclear attack on one of our cities could kill hundreds of thousands of
people. It could shatter our economy, erode our civil liberties, give blackmail power
to the terrorist group that carried out the attack," Nunn said.
Former Energy Department official Leonard Spector said the United States was
likely to see an attack with a so-called dirty bomb that could spew radioactive
material across an entire city neighborhood.

Have you read "The Fate of the Earth?"
It's not just you Granny. I fear like on the TV show "24," we'll be the last to know. People like Cindy and Neosgirl may come across information that gives us clues, but I doubt we'll be told anything until it is too late for us to do anything about it but wait (unless we happen to discover info on bio/chemical or nuclear attacks on us).
This week they've been big on shooting down aircraft with missiles from the ground. We are not immune to such an attack and we have far too many hateful anti-American scum living among us with liberals protecting them.
