Re dirty bombs etc: One thing about their m.o. is outstandingly clear:

They use our resources & our infrastructure, and that will be the central theme of whatever comes next.

They used our flight schools. They used our airplanes. They used our stock market (shorting airlines & reinsurance companies). They are using our mail system (our infrastructure). They are using our Iowa Ames anthrax. They don't have to come up with dirty bombs etc. They can use our nuclear reactors and containment pools.

Whoever is thinking about the shape of what might come next, and when, clearly has to think in that direction. It's part of their cleverness (I feel, anyway--others may think its silly or ineffective) and probably part of their "F-you" to us. Whatever they do or don't achieve, they want to bring us down and want to use our resources to do it. And part of that, probably deep down, is about envying us and even on some level wanting what we have.
