CBS) We can no longer ignore the worst-case scenario of a nuclear terrorist
attack on an American city. Osama bin Laden has made it clear he wants to
obtain nuclear weapons and use them against us.

The 9/11 Commission considers such an attack the No. 1 threat today, not
because it¹s the most likely disaster scenario, but because it would be the
most devastating. The chairman of the 9/11 Commission even says he expects
to see such an attack on an American city in his lifetime.

Hundreds of thousand of people could die in a nuclear attack, but hundreds
of thousands of others could be saved. That¹s because the Pentagon ‹ after
decades of searching ‹ believes it has found a drug to treat radiation
exposure. Why isn¹t that drug available?
