WASHINGTON -- The risk that terrorists will acquire and use atomic weapons will increase in coming decades as nuclear technology and expertise proliferate, according to a U.S. intelligence report released yesterday (see GSN, Nov. 19).

While the risk of a nuclear attack in the next 20 years remains 'very low' -- probably lower than the possibility of a chemical or biological weapons strike -- it is 'likely to be greater than it is today,' according to the projection, published by the National Intelligence Council.

Chertoff's letter to Perry reveals a clash of the titans

By JAMES PINKERTON

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff fired back Friday at Gov. Rick Perry's sharp criticism of federal efforts to deport illegal immigrants booked into Texas jails.

Chertoff sent Perry a four-page letter defending what he termed as aggressive and expanded efforts by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to remove illegal immigrants, while complaining of a lack of cooperation from local law enforcement who jailed them for criminal offenses.
