TGS, I've read your posts with great interest. They are very thought provoking, if not alarming. You are right up there with Fusion when it comes to painting scary scenarios. I'm very concerned about an NBC attack because I live in NYC. I don't totally dismiss the possiblity of an anthrax attacks carried out by Iraqi sleepers or AQ, but I doubt they can successfully launch attacks on the scale that you have suggested. I just don't think that the prime suspects are capable of maintaining the operational security required to successfully launch multiple large scale attacks. We will see soon enough because I have no doubt that we will attack Iraq within the next 30 days unless Saddam and the top tier of the Baath Party leave Iraq soon and I don't think that will happen.
A crate full of jars of anthrax, passed out among five or ten jihadists, utterly would wreck our economy, never mind the human casualties.
