Report of the Commission on Prevention of WMD Proliferation & Terrorism
long report at the link. Among other recommendations: create a congressional intelligence appropriations committee & peel intel budget out of DOD. Focus hard on Pakistan, Iran, NorK. Strengthen IAEA and "forge an international consensus that no new states, including Iran and North Korea" be allowed to possess uranium - enrichment or plutonium - reprocessing programs. Notes the growing danger of chem and bio WMD.
conclusion: "Unless urgent preventative action is taken, a terrorist attack involving a WMD - nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological - is more likely than not to occur somewhere in the world in the next five years." |
