Rep. Weldon stated: "According to Colonel Lunev, so seriously does the Russian military regard the possibility of war with the United States, that nuclear suitcase bombs may already be prepositioned somewhere in the vicinity of Washington or New York. Given the shocking possibility that Russian nuclear suitcase bombs may even now be smuggled into the United States, I hope the administration reverses its neglect of the experimental wide area tracking system [WATS] being developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. In a hearing before this subcommittee on nuclear terrorism and countermeasures held on October 1, 1997, the WATS system was profiled in the hope of promoting its development. WATS currently offers the only technology under development capable of detecting a nuclear weapon being smuggled into the United States.

Ironically, after the WATS presentation was warmly received by the R&D Subcommittee, the administration cut WATS funding to a subsistence level and reorganized the program in ways deleterious to its development. I cannot understand how the administration, which has often objected to national missile defenses on grounds that nuclear terrorism poses a bigger threat, can then neglect the only technology that offers any hope of defense against nuclear terrorism. What is the justification for keeping America defenseless against both nuclear missiles and nuclear terrorists?"

These are easy questions...

We are being set up and sold out while the Sheeple are distracted by their "bread and circuses" IMHO. We and all we possess are already collateral for the National Debt. Think you own your home, for example? Try not paying your income or property taxes for a few years. Look it up.

Hhhhmmmmmmmmmmm...........

Just last week we had a shutdown of a segment of BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) in the middle of the morning commute. Why? They found a SuitCase near the tracks and thought it might be a bomb. Thought it was odd at the time. Just things that make me go Hhmmm. Link?
