In case you hadn't already heard, Osama Bin Laden has officially been given clerical "permission" (a fatwa) to nuke the U.S. A Saudi sheik wrote up a several-page treatise back in May 2003, justifying the killing of millions of Americans as retribution for the millions of Muslim deaths attributable to U.S. actions and policies.

Mr. Scheuer stated that he has no doubt that a WMD attack of some sort inside the U.S. -- most likely nuclear -- is all but inevitable. As to the nature of the nuclear attack, he said it wasn't known whether it would be an actual nuclear bomb, a "dirty" bomb, or some other sort of radiological event. (bomb a nuclear power plant?)

The interviewer asked him how he knew this, and Scheuer replied that it's because OBL ALWAYS says exactly what he intends to do. Scheuer said that OBL was criticized by the Muslim clerics for doing 9/11 without giving a warning ahead of time. Therefore, OBL got his fatwa and IS warning us now.

I wish the interview had been much longer.
