No, this post is not mistitled.

n October, police raided a trailer home which doubled as a meth factory - and they stumbled across a treasure trove of nuclear secrets that had somehow escaped from Los Alamos. As CBS reported:

“The recent security breach at Los Alamos National Laboratory was very serious, with sensitive materials being taken out of the facility — possibly including information on how to deactivate locks on nuclear weapons, officials tell CBS News.
[…]
Multiple sources now tell CBS News that the material includes sensitive weapons-design data.
[…]
But one federal official recently briefed on the issue says “It’s devastating.” If a nuclear weapon were stolen, the information “would tell the terrorists everything they need to do to get a weapon to fire.”“

Anyone who takes terrorism seriously is very worried about this. Take for example, Ms. Edmonds.

fghanistan supplies almost 90% of the world’s heroin, which is the country’s main cash crop, contributing over $3 billion a year in illegal revenues to the Afghan economy, which equals 50% of the gross national product. In 2004, according to the U.S. state department, 206,000 hectares were cultivated, a half a million acres, producing 4,000 tons of opium. “It is not only the largest heroin producer in the world, 206,000 hectares is the largest amount of heroin or of any drug that I think has ever been produced by any one country in any given year,” says Robert Charles, former assistant secretary of state for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement, overseeing anti-drug operations in Afghanistan.

Heroin trafficking is also the main source of funding for the al-Qaeda terrorists. A Time Magazine article in August 2004 reported that al-Qaeda has established a smuggling network that is peddling Afghan heroin to buyers across the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, and in turn is using the drug revenues to purchase weapons and explosives. The article states: “…al-Qaeda and its Taliban allies are increasingly financing operations with opium sales. Anti-drug officials in Afghanistan have no hard figures on how much al-Qaeda and the Taliban are earning from drugs, but conservative estimates run into tens of millions of dollars.” Anti-drug officials say the only way to cut off al-Qaeda’s pipeline is to attack it at the source: by destroying the poppy farms themselves. This year, Afghanistan’s opium harvest is expected to exceed 3,600 tons—enough to produce street heroin worth $36 billion.

I’ve got too much to read and catch up with, but just use your imagination for a little while and contemplate these two pieces. Given the complete joke that is our “security” policy and leadership, all I can say is that an attack upon the US isn’t just likely, it’s a simple matter of when.
