        If the game weren't so serious, it would be fun. It's pretty obvious that we're trying to "ratfvck" al Qaeda...
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              If that is all info available, it's impossible to make any conclusions. This admin has used unsubstantiated terror scares before ad has about zero credibility. So it may have been serious, or it is, translated from Ashcroft speak:

              "known terrorist" = someone suspected of terrorism in any way, probably for being an arab muslim
              "with connections to al Qaeda" = has some documents where the words show up, maybe just in newspaper clips
              "who was plotting to build and detonate a radioactive "dirty" bomb"" = went to the library and read a book about plutonium or similar stuff
              Now and don't tell me this spin exercise would be beyond dubya and co.

                The location Washington would have really disrupted the US though.
                No, you think?

                I think it's quite obvious that AMERICA should strike back with a couple of dirty bomb plots aimed at whoever (or should I say WHATEVER) planned this ATROCITY. America's getting rid of Al-(sp), if it's the last damn thing we do, and it starts TODAY. We've already ripped on the communist forests (5, count 'em 5 "accidental" wildfires are raging in the west), destroyed two countries in the World Cup, and invented the WAFFLE IRON, we ain't slowin down ANY TIME SOON.

                And to think in the 60's people actually bought into that lame "War, What is it Good for - Absolutely Nothing" crap.

                  All things considered, Id rather it be hyped up then ignored or have it underestimated. You may not see it that way, but then again, you don't live in the area in question.

                    or like in neuromancer by gibson?

                    where that squad did that trick in the building of that multinational?

                    pretty similar.

                      How big are we talking? Even the biggest conventional bombs (and that the type of explosives we're talking about) wouldn't be able to scatter that much debris, even with high winds. I doubt they'd be able to particlize the radioactives to such a degree that it would travel far or get into people's systems to a large degree.

                      Don't get me wrong, it'd still be a horrible thing, and for those who were exposed, a lifetime nightmare, even if they didn't get sick (they'd always be waiting for the hammer to fall). And it would terrorize the nation. But I think it would turn out to be more of a mouse than a lion.

                            Who knows for sure what is hype and what is a valid threat with all of the "reports". But in any case you surely do not believe that there will be no more terrorism in the United States do you? I think they will wait like they did before -- for one day...

                              This is far more specific than the possible terrorist attacks in the North East stuff they were pulling earlier. I doubt that this is hype, especially since this guy is a citizen.
