Multiple people have shared this site and information with me. The conclusions are sobering.
The Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism has issued its report: World at Risk.
This bipartisan commission was chartered by Congress to assess our nation's progress in preventing weapons of mass destruction proliferation and terrorismâ"and to provide the next President and Congress with concrete, actionable recommendations that can serve as their road map to a safer homeland and world.
The report focuses on two WMD weapon areas: biological and nuclear.
To quote from the executive summary:
"The simple reality is that the risks that confront us today are evolving faster than our multilayered responses. Many thousands of dedicated people across all agencies of our government are working hard to protect this country, and their efforts have had a positive impact. But the terrorists have been active, tooâ"and in our judgment America's margin of safety is shrinking, not growing."
