“For the first time in New Hampshire’s blockbuster U.S. Senate campaign, the race is no longer a virtual dead heat. Gov. Maggie Hassan has taken an 8 percentage point lead over Sen. Kelly Ayotte, according to a new poll.”

Having searched and not found any reference to this interview here at kos, I am posting a link (I hope--this is my first attempt to post a diary) to the interview with a few comments of my own. The bottom line of the interview is that Scheuer expects al-Qaeda to attempt a nuclear weapon attack inside the US within the next six months. Read More
