A bipartisan commission looking into preparedness of the United States to deal with a weapon of mass destruction here on U.S. soil recently released it's report.

The report indicated a high probability of an incident here before 2013. Materials for such a weapon are available all over the place from hospitals to industrial locations.

It also reviews a number of related subjects.

I have not read the entire report yet but have listened to several members and reporters discuss it.


The WMD Commission Report
Final Report of the Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction

The WMD Commission was established by Executive Order 13328, which was signed by the President on February 6, 2004. The Commission was charged with assessing whether the Intelligence Community is sufficiently authorized, organized, equipped, trained, and resourced to identify and warn in a timely manner of, and to support United States Government efforts to respond to, the development and transfer of knowledge, expertise, technologies, materials, and resources associated with the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction, related means of delivery, and other related threats of the 21st Century and their employment by foreign powers (including terrorists, terrorist organizations, and private networks). The Commission reported its findings and recommendations to the President by March 31, 2005
