I couldn't find any clear institutional identification on that site. On the other hand, the first external link on their "Linkshare" sidebar is the Washington Times. Which, when last heard from here, had the Chinese arming the Taliban, in line with the pre-9/11 conservative orthodoxy of demonizing China at every opportunity and somewhat in contrast with certain geographical limitations. Ok, some semi-official confirmation from directory.google.com : A national weekly newsmagazine published in Washington, D.C. "As Newsweek is the sister newsweekly of the liberal Washington Post newspaper, Insight is the sister newsweekly of the conservative Washington Times newspaper." The Moonies almost make me nostalgic for the Debkafiles.

Any thoughts on the credibility of this source? Who are they? What are their politics? What record do they have for accurate reporting? John, i cannot comment on the source as i do not know them personally. i can tell you this...when the governor of california announced credible threats against the big suspension bridges i was 210% convinced it had to be a nuclear threat. uw

Insight Mag--the author of the piece, "High Alert-US Threatened with Nukes," seems to be Anthony Kimery, with respectable credentials (which makes the plausibility of Bin Laden's possessing a nuclear grade weapon even more frightening): dso.com "Anthony Kimery is an award-winning investigative journalist whose work focuses primarily on the security, intelligence, defense, and financial industries. Recipient of the Omnivision, Project Censored, Sierra Club, and Fund for Investigative Journalism awards, Mr. Kimery has extensive writing experience as a wire services reporter, government issues analyst, and mainstream magazine journalist. His reporting, including that for SOURCES, has been picked up news organizations that include USA Today and ABC News. Kimery has edited or served as contributing editor for numerous publications related to the defense and financial industries.
