Those currently debating dumbness and smartness might find this distraction humorously relevant:


>From the NYT, describing the confessions of Abu Zubaydah:


> Mr. Zubaydah dismissed Mr. Padilla as a maladroit extremist whose
> hope to construct a dirty bomb, using conventional explosives to
> disperse radioactive materials, was far-fetched. He told his
> questioners that Mr. Padilla was ignorant on the subject of nuclear
> physics and believed he could separate plutonium from nuclear
> material by rapidly swinging over his head a bucket filled with
> fissionable material.

Thank Dog for the lighter moments of the War on Everything!
