A new report by retired longtime intelligence officer Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, who served as chief of the CIA’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Department, accuses the U.S. government of seriously misreading al-Qaida’s operational objectives.
“Al-Qaida’s reasoning,” according to Mowatt-Larssen’s new report from Harvard’s Kennedy School, “runs counter to analytic convention that equates the ease of acquisition of chemical, biological or radiological weapons with an increasing likelihood of terrorist use — i.e., a terrorist attack employing crude weapons is therefore more likely than an attack using a nuclear or large scale biological weapon.”
The truth is being provided here. A suicide bomber on an airliner is not a major attack on this country. It does not meet the primary objective of destroying us and our financial resources. One of these attacks can accomplish the objective.
I believe we are vulnerable to internal terrorist attacks because instead of worrying about attacks against us; President Obama is spending to much time-money and energy worring about iraq-afghanastan and other countries around the world.
If you can’t be protected from enemy attack in our country then nothing else really matters.
Safety of the American people should be priority number one for the President.
For the record, Iam a liberal Democrat but I am an American first, and Iam concerned with the way this president has hanlded the threat of terrorist attacks against our country.
How about a small, credit card size badge that registers radiation exposure instantly. There is one available for a reasonable price from Crowe and Company.
I should have saved this comment for this article rather than the one before.
I have one of these cards. If one receives exposure from a radiological incident, one knows how much was received. The card registers from 0 to 1000 rads. According to the instructions that came with the card: “if the sensor has developed a darker blue color e.g., above 25 or 50 rads, the user should seek a medical evaluation. A person exposed to dose higher than 50 rads should immediately contact an emergency room of a nearest hospital.”
