Moments
after the September 11 attacks, the U.S. Department
of Defense was dangerously close to a nuclear launch.
With the majority of the American public left in the
dark, the Defense Department went on defcon 2, its second-highest
state of alert, ready to launch thousands of weapons
with only three minutes' decision time. Though the end
of the Cold War was supposed to bring the threat of
nuclear war to a close, Nobel Prize nominee Helen Caldicott
shows that instead, the threat has reappeared in a different
form. Her startling book
THE NEW NUCLEAR DANGER: George W. Bush's Military-Industrial
Complex, reveals
how arms dealers like Lockheed Martin have been able
to advance their trade by
manipulating and accelerating America's military to
its present crisis.
