#1 "Critics contend that a bunker-buster strike could involve a huge radiation release". Of course the Japanese are still living in the two cities were the US field tested these devices 55+ years ago. They moved right back in without the EPA or OSHA stripping the first 10 feet of surface soil for radiation.

I do recall growing up down wind, though not as close as Las Vegas, of numerous large above ground open air nuke tests in Nevada during the 50's and early 60's. We didn't drop like flies or progenerate offsprings with hands sticking out of their foreheads.

Actually, the use of nukes would provide quick and effective incineration of any chemical or biological agents. Something lost on the Chicken Little non-scentific types out there.
