Ashcroft's scared for good reason. We could be nuked!! The article below explains how Bin Ladin obtained 20 suitcase size nukes. If they're not already here, you better believe they're on the way. But almost 2 months after the WTC attack, our borders are still WIDE OPEN! Is this a functioning government or just a huge tax collection machine that responds to threads either by bombing empty tents in the Afghanistan desert or endless spin with little or no action to protect American citizens. When is the US gov going to get serious about protecting this country??!!! Seal off our borders with the military. And begin careful screening of everyone coming here by land, sea, and air. And those already here legally and illegally if we have to search house to house to find them. Do we have to lose an entire major US city before this is done??!! Call your congressman!! Isopatch "Sunday, Oct. 28, 2001 11:45 p.m. EST Bin Laden's Nuclear Weapons? London's "Eye Spy" reports on a secret operation at least 18 months ago whereby Al-Qaeda operatives acquired nuclear technology and hardware. According to the Arabic language newspaper Al-Watan al-Arabi, well-organized terrorists smuggled nuclear warheads, bought with opium and cash from the Russian mafia, overland out of Russian territory via secret routes through Uzbekistan. There, former Soviet scientists removed the active uranium to be processed and placed it in backpack-sized nuclear bombs ready for transportation to the West, undetected. Sources say bin Laden has used two tons of Afghan opium and $30 million to buy over 20 nuclear warheads. He has hired an international team of rogue nuclear scientists working in a secret underground base to convert warheads 'expropriated' from former Soviet republics into portable nuclear devices capable of striking targets around the globe. The newspaper further states that bin Laden developed ties with the mafia of former Soviet republics during the Afghan war, which provided him with the key to obtaining nuclear missile warheads from the disintegrating USSR. The magazine says MI6 and the CIA now have in-depth intelligence on this operation. Indeed, it is almost certain that when Colin Powell spoke with Pakistan, some of this information was divulged, prompting Islamabad to react. Analysts believe bin Laden would have little hesitation in exploding a nuclear warhead, which many governments believe would lead to a frightening escalation in the war against terror." newsmax.com
