    IS dirty bomb concerns

    Seems IS have been collection radioactive material - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-10309220.html

    The Isis militant group has seized enough radioactive material from government facilities to suggest it has the capacity to build a large and devastating “dirty” bomb, according to Australian intelligence reports.
    I wonder if they are stupid enough to use such a weapon. Can you imagine the military response that would greet them? That said, that assumes a modicum of logic and reason, something I think we can clearly discount on their previous actions...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I agree with you Neil. Filming yourself cutting people's heads off is child's play compared to a dirty bomb. To be honest, I wouldn't put it past them. Once the beheading people headlines became stale, they started trying to be creative in their murder film propaganda videos. Getting the U.S. Government to bomb a Doctors without Boarders clinic was pretty clever (on their part) though. Not the first time they have set up the U.S. military to look bad either.
