Can Bin Laden and Organized Crime Nuke the USA? The author of The Al Qaeda Connection: International Terrorism, Organized Crime, And the Coming Apocalypse, Paul L. Williams told NewsMax: "It is not a question of if....it is a question of when."[http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:bV3TnuMfjtkJ:www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/7/14/215350.shtml+paul+williams+al+qaeda&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=2&ie=UTF-8] However, Michael Swetnam, former CIA officer told CNSNews.com that he disagrees with Williams' belief that al Qaeda already has nukes in the U S. "I think if they had them here, they'd have used them, absolutely," Swetnam said. "In today's world we're only able to search or screen five percent of the stuff that comes into the country, particularly by ship. So the odds of them being able to smuggle something in are pretty good." [Crimehttp://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:QCkJPCvSF88J:www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp%3FPage%...
