1. This being the anniversary of the Branch Davidian fire,
there being quite some resentment of the feds for their abusive,
SWAT team wannabe attitude, there is a significant chance that
this is a domestic baby.
2. Any terrorist organization that gets its paws on a nuke is more
likely to present proof of posession, hide the thing somewhere as remote
as the South Georgia Islands and wait for the west to start offering
concessions.
A nuke will put a t.o. in an ackward posession: they would love the
power, but know that should they dare use it the west would retaliate
so strongly that none of them would come out alive, 99.9999% guaranteed.
Conclusion: the loose nukes in the world right now, IMHO are currently
in the hands of the Russian mafia, with a tag "for sale." If
the PLO,PKK,IRA,Islamic Jihad,Shining Path, or any other bunch of loonies
had gotten their hot little hands on a mushroom maker, the whole world
would know.
