i dont know how seriously to take that gibson guy... in "spook country", he seems to think that the pirates are CIA,..
the CIA guys line up with the native pirates, on the understanding that the CIA irates get to inspect the cargo. looking for wmds, as the native pirates loot the ship.
also according to gibson, this operation was part of valerie plame's operation and was blown by the intermural political squabbles in the US.

i spose, if you were gonna ship a little nuke into america, you'd want to cripple the defenses...
on the other hand, it seems likely that israel's had nukes planted in the US for decades.
it's the same old problem: how paranoid is too paranoid?
