"One mushroom cloud would change history. My deepest fear is that this is exactly what they [Al Qaeda] intend."

Previous Quote

The terrorists who have succeeded in carrying out spectacular attacks against Western targets in the past have been college-educated, technically proficient men who are capable of manufacturing and deploying chemical, radiological, and biological weapons. Al Qaeda attracts the kind of highly educated men who one day might be able to pull off such an attack.
