Will Terrorists Attack Our Nuclear Plants Next?
Advertisements [?]
A quotation to fuel some discussion:

“Not long after moving to Washington she had interviewed an expert on nuclear security who had explained how easy it would be to score plutonium. The security for nuclear facilities, he said, was always contracted out. The contractors in turn hired locally and supplied their hires with minimum rounds of ammunition. Meaning, he had said, ‘You got multimillion dollar state-of-the-art security systems being operated by downsized sheriff’s deputies with maybe enough ammo to take down a coyote.’”

--Joan Didion, The Last Thing He Wanted

-----
Are "terrorists" the new "communists"?
Should we bolster our security around nuclear plants?
Is a shadow government complicit in the 9-11 attacks?
Are all the "terrorist alerts" phoney?
Is Tom Ridge a liar, or a puppet for other liars?
Will future attacks be against western interests overseas or
here on U.S. soil?
Will the next "terrorists" be Timothy McVeighs or Mohammed Attas?


'Am interested in what people think.

TIA
