If you take the threat of radical Islamist terrorism seriously (who doesn’t?), then the movie “Dirty War” will scare the living hell out of you.
The movie is, according to the website, fiction that was “based on factual research by BBC Current Affairs.” I watched it last night, and man, does it present some frightening scenarios, as well as really capturing the chaos should a dirty bomb be set off in a metropolitan area.
I understand that there is some discussion about whether dirty bombs are possible- I would choose to err on the side of caution. After watching this movie, I have some real questions about the preparedness of the Department of Homeland Security. Can we ever really be prepared?
