Well, you are not paranoid, though the article is. The fact of the matter is that our enemies are resourcefull enough. I have seen an at!@#$%^&*ude among people that because Al Queda lacks resources, that they somehow are harmless. Usually these people argue that as such it would be important to fight "clean" and maintain the moral high ground rather than fighting to win.

 

While no one can disagree that having military hardware as well as an economy to support it is vital for a military operation, determination can forge ways to do it.

 

Certain things in that article don't make sense...they would not use sleeper cells with a nuke - if they managed to get the thing into the country they would just deploy it immeadiately. Also, nuclear power plants wouldn't cause secondary atomic explosions. Additionally, Al Queda probably does not have getting revenge for Japan on their motivations list. They probably would count Japan as another one of their enemies.

 

However, the important thing here is that something very similar to that could work. I think people should take scenarios like this into account, as well as the fact that these people are ruthless, when deciding whether or not we should water board these people.
