Michael A. Levi, Program on Energy Security and Climate Change Director, Council on Foreign Relations

In his new book, On Nuclear Terrorism, Michael Levi takes us inside nuclear terrorism and behind the decisions a terrorist leader would be faced with in pursuing a nuclear plot. Levi draws from long experience with terrorism and believes this mode of terrorism shares much in common with other terrorist threats. As a result, he argues, defeating it is impossible unless we put our entire counterterrorism and homeland security house in order. While no defense can completely eliminate nuclear terrorism, he believes it is the “right strategy” that will minimize the risks.

The only people who have nuclear weapons and are threatening to use them -- presently against Iran, but against who knows whom next year? -- are the U.S.A. and Israel. But Michael A. Levi wouldn't be the Director of the Council on Foreign Relations' Program on Energy Security and Climate Change or anything else at that top ruling-class institution if he were denouncing the world-class terrorists who run that institution.

BTW, Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons and is far from producing any, even if its rulers want to. But if I were in their shoes, I certainly would develop a nuclear weapon as fast as possible as a deterrent to attack by the U.S. and the Zionist state. All that would be necessary would be a few nukes that could reach Tel Aviv and the "Green Zone" of Baghdad.
