The 60 Minutes program on CBS had a puff piece on nuclear power plants last night. The report might had the look of a PR spot for the nuclear industry and the producers ignored a few things. Like this:
"I was responsible for surveillance needed to hit nuclear power plants that generate electricity in several U.S. states."- testimony of Kahlid Sheikh Mohammed March 10, 2007
They even ignored this memo here is the money quote:
"FBI headquarters has provided the following information to all field offices. During debriefings of an al Qaeda senior operative, he stated there would (be) a second airline attack in the U.S. The attack was already planned and three individuals were on the ground in the U.S. The attack was already planned and three individuals were on the ground in the states recruiting non-Arabs to take part in the attack. The plan is to fly a commercial aircraft into a nuclear power plant to be chosen by the team on the ground. "
It seems in the rush to promote the "virtues" of nuclear power 60 minutes forgot to mention that they are looked at as bombs in our backyard by the terrorists.
