CNN/Amanpour:
I take this charge with a grain of salt: Scheuer was the incompetent head of the Binladen desk at the CIA during the time we failed to get him when we could've, and he's an anti-Semitic piece of crap who like Sheehan and Chomsky argues we went to war against Saddam because Israel/the Likud wanted us to, while at the same time he argues that we are controlled by the House of Saud.
NEVERTHELESS: the fact that Saddam wanted nukes (which he could have given to al Qaeda), and that Iran is trying to make nukes (which they can give to Hizballah), and that North Korea may have some to sell to... ANYONE, makes this charge one that must be paid attention too.

Michael Scheuer, who once headed the CIA's bin Laden unit, says bin Laden has been given permission by a young cleric in Saudi Arabia authorizing al Qaeda to "use nuclear weapons against the United States ... capping the casualties at 10 million."He first made this charge here; 11/14/03 (on CBS). IS THIS SO LONG AGO WE SHOULD IGNORE IT, NOW?!?! Maybe, but maybe NOT: ALL of Binladen's major jihadoterror attacks have always been planned YEARS ahead of time. The time may be fast approaching...
"He's had an approval, a religious approval for 10 million deaths?" I asked him.
"Yes," Scheuer responded.

One has to assume that Musharraf is playing a double game. Bin Laden and his cronies are safe in Pakistan; but Musharraf throws us a crumb now and then. His motivation? As long as the threat continues we give him aid and sell him weapons. It is in his interest to keep us in fear and yet prevent the worst attacks (such as the recent attempt in London.)
Why hasn’t Bush gotten him? I’d like to see Bush’s critics call for an invasion of Pakistan. Then I’ll take their criticism seriously. I don’t even hear a call for getting tough on Musharraf. It’s only time before he is replaced by a fundamentalist regime. I assume Bush hopes this doesn’t happen on his watch. Neither party is giving us leadership.
Scary then the Bush administration did nothing to prevent North Korea from obtaining nuclear weapons and then shutdown the Bin Laden unit at the CIA.
But since water bottles have been banned from planes, we all must safe.
