I would think that if they were a real threat, or a real organization for that matter, Bush would be falling over himself to prove it. Maybe he can't.

Maybe he can’t.

Dr Bob Bowman thinks the missiles in Poland will be very useful to shoot down any surviving Russian missiles after a First Strike. Therefore the Russians will implement Launch On Warning. The terrible consequences of a mstake will be caused by the Pentagon´s drive for a disarming, unanswerable first-strike capability. Dr Bob Bowman agrees that the Pentagon will get disarming first-strike capability by 2011/12. Acc. to former Trident missile engineer Bob Aldridge-www.plrc.org-the US Navy can track and destroy all enemy subs simultaneously. The main danger is Russian Launch On Warning because of US First-Strike Capability. Please read Keir Lieber and Daryl Press, "The Rise of US Nuclear Primacy", 2006 March/April issue of Foreign Affairs. By 2011/12 the Pentagon will have achieved that the Russians have no choice but Launch On Warning as they will have no other means of defense. I´ll recommend Bob Aldridge´s books First Strike! The Pentagon´s Strategy For Nuclear War, The Counterforce Syndrome, Nuclear Empire and his recent book America in Peril.

It is a disgrace that there are so few voices in the American mainstream media who question the treatment of people held in detention by the U.S. government. Great interview as always, Scott.
