I thank God every day for the fine men and women in uniformed service, whether in our cities or our military, who stand in the breach for us.
Very interesting. Thanks!

I too thank God for these selfless servants that protect my rights every day. NY and FRiends, you are not forgotten.
I would think that if you screw up disarming a bomb, personally, it wouldn't make much difference if it were a nuke or plastique

Even though heroes like these will continue to risk their lives to protect others, the day will unfortunately come when a nuke or dirty bomb will be detonated in the US by Islamic Fascists. On that day I hope the cut and run Democrats and white flag Republicans in Congress find some testicles as the American people will demand swift retribution.
Hey if Jack Bauer can do it...
Considering how hard it is in this day and age to keep anything secret, I find it hard to believe something of this magnitude was suppressed for this long.
Holy Jesus.
Thank god this didn't happen.
What a story.
I don't know how much truth there is to this but I do seem to recall a ship being towed out from shore.
The reason we saw for this action turned out to be some "tiles" or some such thing giving off a radioactive signature. Was this around the same timeframe? Anyone remember that?
something doesn't seem quite right here. i'm not convinced that this actually happenned. I'm sure that if it had, we would have found out a long time before now.
especially with all the rumors going around then.
So... what happened to the bomb?

He writes that on Oct. 11, 2001, exactly a month after 9/11, aides told President Bush that a C.I.A. source code-named Dragonfire had reported that Al Qaeda had obtained a 10-kiloton nuclear weapon and smuggled it into New York City.
The C.I.A. found the report plausible. The weapon had supposedly been stolen from Russia, which indeed has many 10-kiloton weapons. Russia is reported to have lost some of its nuclear materials, and Al Qaeda has mounted a determined effort to get or make such a weapon. And the C.I.A. had picked up Al Qaeda chatter about an "American Hiroshima."
President Bush dispatched nuclear experts to New York to search for the weapon and sent Dick Cheney and other officials out of town to ensure the continuity of government in case a weapon exploded in Washington instead. But to avoid panic, the White House told no one in New York City, not even Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Got the red wire, the yellow wire, the blue wire. Now, which was it?
