#1 No one should doubt the truthfulness of this report

#2 I would never, ever, doubt it.
One of these quack - bastard al-Qaeda operatives is going to walk over our southern border with one of these " dirty bombs " strapped to his back and manage to inflict heavy damage unless we seal off our borders.

#3 A dirty bomb is possibly an economic weapon, but not a mass-casualty weapon. Having crude procedures for making toxic chemicals is also not a very impressive capability. I would want to know more about the supposed chemical dispersion bomb that was intercepted in Jordan to make a judgement on the level of sophistication of their chemical warfare efforts. OTOH, I think the goal of detonating a nuke in the US has become a kind of holy grail for lots of folks, "because it's there", and that threat will continue to grow over the years even if no one now has the capability to carry it off.

#4 As with anything else the CIA has put out in recent history. Why this recycled news? and, Why now?

The Afgan "discoveries" are over two years old. Rather than report the news, what is the CIA doing to prevent the news? I believe that falls under their domain.

#5 What the Cap'n said. I want the CIA to stop telling us that the sun rises in the east and start developing assets in southern Iran and Pakistan that can infiltrate the hundreds of AQ who are operating there under protection of the mullahs and the ISI. We don't pay you for Googling, boys. Get your hands dirty.

#6 I do not doubt the truthfullness of the report. I do note that it breaks nothing new, same ole' same old. Referencing docs and interviews from '01 and '02. Could have found that stuff hereon RB and sent out link and be done.
