I thought Hoagland was speculating that a suitcase-sized nuke could have been secreted into the Washington Monument during the restoration project a while back. Part of his speculation was that the anthrax threat activity was a diversion (albeit serious as a heart attack) to keep the investigative and public safety agencies preoccupied while another BIG destructive deadly event by the terrorist cells comes to fruition.

Could be, I only listen to as background when I record it or trying to fall/can't sleep. Hoagland lost me when *his* view of Mars is pushed as the top priority of NASA (nevermind THE most important event in the history of manking), and since NASA doesn't see it his way, they're covering up life on Mars.

However, even a broken clock is right twice a day, and while I'm dubious about a nuke being *stashed* there, he may be on to something.

From a convenient airburst standpoint, isn't the WM the highest point in Washington by law? (except Jimuh Carter giving the highest elevation to the former Soviet Union)
