Re: Nuclear Logic?
Does anyone remember a particularly scary episode of "the Cook Report" in the late '80s?
He (Cook) went to Russia and got contacts to purchase Uranium and Plutonium.
He used that to build a small nuclear weapon in a business style briefcase.
He took that (with dumb metal instead of nuclear active material for obvious reasons) to Mi5 to see what they had to say.
Needless to say, the guy behind the desk at MI5 looked more than a little glum when he opened the case and saw so blatantly just how easy it could be.
My point is, if you have the money, you can go buy weapons grade materials on the black market today, just as you could in the 80's.

The biggest terrorist acts are usually the responsibility of the government.... along with those terrible acts which force a country to become involved in a massive war... best examples being Vietnam, Pearl Harbour, 911, the Lucitania, Messopotamia and the press.
