No offence, but a typical and stupid fear mongering article. The kind of paranoia the Bush administration needs out there to fuel their re-election bid.
The only reason this should be of any concern is because the Americans have now essentially legitemized an all out war with the muslim world (population: ~1,300,000,000). 4,000,000 innocents is a hell of a large step from ~2,200 people who manned the World Trade Centre, Pentagon, and (although not carried out) White House, on all sorts of grounds....

First of all...LA Times is firmly against Bush. And I think the premise about keeping nukes out of the hands of terrorists would go for whoever wins the election.
All out war against the Muslim world?
I am surprised you just didn't end with Damn Jewish-America conspiracy to take over the world!
And last of all you didn't read the entire article. Which is quite obvious.
Al Qaeda spokesman Suleiman Abu Gheith has stated Al Qaeda's objective: "to kill 4 million Americans — 2 million of them children — and to exile twice as many and wound and cripple hundreds of thousands."
Nearly 3,000 died in the Sept. 11 attacks. It would take about 1,334 similar assaults to reach 4 million. Or it could take one nuclear weapon.
Al Qaeda has made its intentions clear. America's challenge is to prevent the terrorists from succeeding.
