The headline on Ronald Kessler’s Feb. 14 Newsmax column is certainly a grabber: “FBI: 100 Percent Chance of WMD Attack.” But when Kessler reveals the details of the claim, it’s much less scarier than the headline makes it seem:
The probability that the U.S. will be hit with a weapons of mass destruction attack at some point is 100 percent, Dr. Vahid Majidi, the FBI’s assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate, tells Newsmax.
Such an attack could be launched by foreign terrorists, lone wolves who are terrorists, or even by criminal elements, Majidi says. It would most likely employ chemical, biological, or radiological weapons rather than a nuclear device.
In other words, we are definitely going to be attacked. By somebody. Eventually.
What a sad bit of scaremongering.
