uneasy reading of unaddressed weaknesses
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Here is an unsettling little read, provided by the Council on Global Terrorism. It points out an increasing Islamist radicalisation. Not just in the Middle East, but also in the Muslim diaspora in the developed countries. Topics including US homeland defense, against chemical, biological or nuclear attacks. Much has not been done. Maybe the surprise is that, as the current Administration is wont to say, there have been no terrorist attacks in the US since 2001. Not necessarily reassuring. For example, the Department of Homeland Security has yet to issue mandatory standards for chemical plants. It has been stymied in part by a lessening sense of urgency amongst many politicians and businesses. But a successful attack against a major plant in an urban region could see casualties surpassing Bhopal. Happy reading!
