The Washington Post has a front-page piece on the continued threat of terrorism, featuring the views of retired Army Gen. Wayne A. Downing, who was President Bush's deputy national security adviser for counterterrorism until July 8. "Most sobering to me was the terrorists' research on chemical weapons, radiological dispersion devices, and their fascination with nuclear weapons," said Downing during his first public interview. "They are obsessed with them." He also claims that "in the case of a devastating attack with weapons of mass destruction causing tens of thousands of casualties … the United States may have to declare martial law someday."
