Analyst's note: You can not say you were not told. It is very interesting and informative to go back to Oct 3, 2009 and see how the world has improved ... or not.
I also highly recomment "Science that Matters" (at the bottom) featuring Dr. Lloyd Case in a 30 minute segment of the "Dialog: East Coast-West Coast" radio broadcast of May 5, 2010 concerning national threats and science issues. Interesting discussion of Strategic Materials and Processes, Iran's nuclear preparation, and EMP weapons. This discussion MATTERS! You will enjoy this session. The entire broadcast can be heard here.
