WORLD AT RISK: The Report of the Commission on the Prevention of WMD Proliferation and Terrorism



"A Plague on Both Houses" fictionalizes the very real and growing threat of a WMD attack using bioweapons.

The Commission on the Prevention of WMD Proliferation and Terrorism published a report on December 2, 2008. View the report here.

Some quotes from the report:
"Nuclear, biological attack 'likely' within next five years"

"Pakistan is the weakest link in world security."

Without urgent action,
"it is more likely than not that a weapon of mass destruction will be used in a terrorist attack somewhere in the world by the end of 2013."


The bi-partisan commission has a website.

Here's a link to a C-Span video:

Bob Graham, WMD Commission, Chairman & Jim Talent, WMD Commission, Vice Chairman go over their final report, which concluded that unless the world community acts decisively and with great urgency, it is more likely than not that a weapon of mass destruction will be used in a terrorist attack somewhere in the world by the end of 2013.
