Let me offer some techno advice to whoever is the next president of the United States.

While we spend hundreds of billions of dollars stirring up a hornet's nest of hatred in Iraq, Al Qaeda is quietly preparing a "dirty" bomb for delivery to a U. S. port by container ship. The bomb will consist of a container full of conventional explosives, liberally salted with non-weapons-grade uranium and/or plutonium acquired from North Korea, Iran, or, most likely, the former U.S.S.R. Not a mushroom cloud, but our very own Chernobyl.

This is called "Making America Safer."
