Most of you are avidly watching 24, and are now well aware that 24’s Season Six scenario is centered around the detonation of suitcase nukes on American soil. Remember, this was the last chilling thing we saw on Monday night:

Just how improba…

Update: Audio: Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir on AQ’s alleged nuclear plot
HA’s Allahpundit keeps the worry-meter at yellow but provides a growing number of links that the AQ may make good on it’s nuke threat……

Should I be taking that personally, darlin’? Just kiddin’. :)

All of a sudden, I don’t feel like such a lonely alarmist anymore.

Nukes emit neutrons. Neutrons do not have an electrical charge, and cannot be detected by a geiger counter.

Special sensors DO exist that can detect neutron emissions, but they cannot detect neutron emissions from long range. We have better sensors now than we did on 9/11, but we have a long ways to go before we can count on them to find a smuggled nuke.

If Bin Laden attacks with a nuke or Dirty bomb, Muslims around the world will have hell to pay. Not only from us but from Israel, Russia, Australia, Japan, the UK, countries that will then attack and persecute harshly.

Does he not see this?

Also, no worries in the big scheme of things, Bin Laden’s next attack will only kill some 200 thousand. Remember the USA has a population of 300 Million.

Like Japan, its Emperor Culture and it’s suicide bombers – we need to snuff the Radical Islam with a few big blows.

This campaign might not happen soon – but rather later… after some 1 million innocent individuals are killed. Or after our U.S. economy takes a 50% loss – 13 Trillion GDP cut in half…

Then and only then will Islam be in danger.

“Then when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush.” (Surah 9-5)

Fighting during the holy months is forbidden in the Quran. Also, it is customary to invite the enemy to Islam prior to attacking. Al-Qaeda has been criticized by some Islamic clerics for failing to adhere to these “rules” of jihad, hence the recent invitations from Zawahiri and Adam Ghadan. If bin Laden is aspiring to be more Islamically correct, as the invitations would seem to indicate, then he probably will not attack during Ramadan.

However, in post-9/11, I can’t imagine the CIA not taking every precaution to ensure that suitcase nukes could not enter the U.S. Even if they did, how would a terrorist blow up D.C.? There would be no way for him to get the bomb into Washington. From my understanding, there are radiation sensors on every possible route and road leading into Washington.

Canada Free Press has good information on Shrukrijumah

CFP also has the text of the Mir interview, and an audio of Michael Savage discussing the Mir story

One interesting point in the audio, 18% of FOX Newcorp is now owned by a Saudi prince. Oil money has to go somewhere

I hope Mir is wrong. Rumors of 911 were rife in the islamic world well before it happened. Wherther rumor or other reason, the veiled women have disappeared from the public square here, even at night when Ramadan normally brings them out.

Sheesh

I was on this story back in May and took a lot of blogospheric heat for being “alarmist”. I guess ‘cuz I’m not Glenn Beck – just a milblogger. Allahpundit at HotAir linked to my article with the statement “Irresponsible …

Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir was on both the Glenn Beck radio and t.v. shows today. Sandcrawler crewmembers are (hopefully) working on getting some audio. If we can’t do it, you can subscribe to Beck’s Insider thingie for a month for……
