Yes, that is what concerns me.
Not a suitcase nuke or an iPod nuke but a container nuke in an American port city or along a railroad track in middle America.
"And we don't torture people. Now, listen to me. Now, listen to me. I want you to listen to me," Tenet says. "The context is it's post-9/11. I've got reports of nuclear weapons in New York City, apartment buildings that are gonna be blown up, planes that are gonna fly into airports all over again. Plot lines that I don't know – I don't know what's going on inside the United States. And I'm struggling to find out where the next disaster is going to occur. Everybody forgets one central context of what we lived through. The palpable fear that we felt on the basis of the fact that there was so much we did not know."
Like him or not, the CIA was worried about them post 9/11 leads me to believe they are a real threat. It's the leftist line to put on this faux bravado that the "threat is overblown, " just like the Soviet threat supposedly was in the cold war.
