This ought to scare you.

Ed Markey's requested report from the CRS just came out today about the vulnerability of large populations to attacks on chemical facilities, and it's shocking. 23 states were cited as having a facility at risk that could affect more than a million residents in the event of an attack. FYI--Maryland is one of those states with "3 to 6" facilities meeting the criteria.

Makes you wonder why we're spending exorbitant amounts of time, manpower and money fighting the War on Terror "over there", when we have so many chinks in the armor "over here".
