9.11: The Great Deception Pt3

07-02-2002 20:08

Ahmed writes that bin Laden is merely a piece in a chess game.

One spent fuel fire could produce a disaster that would dwarf Cheronbyl. Yet U.S. security measures for nuclear wastes is a tragi-comic travesty of cheating, coverups, and ineptitude that no one - least of all Bush, is addressing.
