This isn't really following the original post but it does have to do with more attacks on American soil. Over the weekend they had a TV show on called Day After Disaster in which they showed the scenarios that would play out if a terrorist managed to explode a 10 KT Nuclear bomb in Washington DC. And the cold facts are that between Russia and the United States there is enough unaccounted for enriched weapons grade uranium to make several bombs of that size. They could be assembled in place in any city and hauled to their detonation point in a delivery van. A gun type detonator is not that hard to make and they showed a lot of the means that the Govt. has taken to make sure we still have some type of Govt. if this happens. It started long ago, Regan really upped it to a workable solution, and Clinton finished the polishing of the system. These are highly trained teams of people including military that spend months in secret bunkers well out of Washington DC and in case of such thing happening, all succession and other standard measures are suspended and whichever team is in the bunkers takes control of the Govt., no matter if some of the normal succession people do survive. It was an interesting show I thought.
