Don't worry, even if it's real you aren't in much danger unless you are standing on it when it goes off. Some people will die of cancer a decade or two too early.

It'll hurt the economy worse than anything.

I know that sounds a bit harsh, especially to the families of victims, but the dirty bomb operates more on panic than anything.

Got 2 million of 'em massed in one place right now. Would seem like a bad time to take out one of our cities.

Don't know if y'all know Defender2 or not. He's just returned home from service abroad (and maybe some would like to welcome him home). He posted a link to a beautiful video of our military guys....just thought I'd post a link to it here as it seems an appropriate reminder for what our military under President Bush is doing to keep us safe from terrorists:

The real culprit all along has been the Islamo-Sino axis of Evil. The evidence is right there...missles to Iraq, Iran and others.

The Chinese have their hands all over this.

China has had quite an attitude for a few years. I wouldn't doubt that they'd send people to attack.

I don't like that idea, at all. AQ is bad 'nough.

If Chinese agents are involved then it is an act of war, and China should be blown off the map!

Far from taken up for China, but just because there may be some chinese involved in the jihad, does not necessarily mean that the Chinese government and other chinese people are involved. Remember there were/are Americans working with, along side Al Queda. We also have/had red blooded Americans participating in the jihadist campaign. Are we going to blow ourselves off the map?

I believe this to be true. Engage the US in Wars against proxies in far away lands. Steal our military secrets. Acquire our industrial capabilities. Take our money.

"unless it's to scare everyone and/or watch how the response is handled."

Or to create a distraction from what's really going on.....in Washington.

I'm not up to speed, so if this information has been updated, please ignore this post.

More from CNN...

Law enforcement sources said the caller said four Chinese chemists and two Iraqis were smuggled over the U.S. border from Mexico and were headed to Boston, either carrying or planning to receive some unspecified dangerous materials.

four Chinese chemists and two Iraqis were smuggled over the U.S. border from Mexico and were headed to Boston

I was just reading one of the other threads. Which says, in part:

`They got a call from across the border in Mexico to the California Highway Patrol and he said he brought two Iraqis and four Chinese (individuals) across the border and according to him, they stated soon to follow behind them would be some sort of material,'' said a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation.

``He refers to some sort of nuclear material that will follow them through New York up into Boston.''

According to the source, the caller has not identified himself and did not show up for a meeting with federal investigators in California but he did leave pictures of four Chinese men and some names at a ``drop'' site at the Mexico-California border.

Hello,

Chemists? OK, would chemists be the best choice if this is truly a dirty bomb? Or, would their knowledge be more useful is the attack on the US was of a different nature?

Glad to be here, everyone stay safe, MOgirl

CNN only media outlet reporting that the Chinese suspects are chemists. All other media outlets are silent on this detail.

So is the BOLO for two Iraqis as well? If so, no pics for them at the moment?

So much for the moral-cowardice of the Democrats, thinking that if they will be nice to evil then evil will be nice to them.
