BELFAST, Maine — James G. Cummings, who police say was shot to death by his wife two months ago, allegedly had a cache of radioactive materials in his home suitable for building a “dirty bomb.”
According to an FBI field intelligence report from the Washington Regional Threat and Analysis Center posted online by WikiLeaks, an organization that posts leaked documents, an investigation into the case revealed that radioactive materials were removed from Cummings’ home after his shooting death on Dec. 9.

HOLY CRAP

i think thats close to Care4all

 

[jillian]

oh man, i hope not. might be near editec, too, then.

the guy was nuts. maybe that's why his wife off'd him.

 

[Annie]

Never fear. The US federal government will protect all. Have faith.

Maine? Are there any female posters on USMB living in Maine???

I almost bought his house twenty years ago whe I was looking at real estate in Belfast.

Apparently, this guy was a trustfunder.

But unlike the majority of trustfunders hereabouts, he was more of a jackbooted scion than one of the Berkenstock shod with a magic mailbox.

He is, and you cannot know how proud this makes us Mainers, the FIRST authentic DIRTY BOMBER discovered in the USA.

He ha enough low level (it would only give you cancer) material to make a small bomb.

He was investigating (and apparently had enough money) to get medical equipment which included enough cesium 137 to make a truly deadly (faster acting) dirty bomb.

Had his wife not shot him, (apparently he was into beating her) who knows if or where or when he might have tested his first device?

At this stage, I'm wondering (and wonder if anyone's ingestigating) if he's been field testing his poison?

Spreading it would not necessarily wake anyone up to what he was doing, after all.

No BOOM is necessary to poison people, after all.

He could have rented a plane at our local airport easily enoigh, for example.

If this some local area has a sudden epidemic of lung cancer a few years from now, will anyone even notice?

Sometimes I feel like half the board is from Maine.

The report stated that the uranium component was bought online from a U.S. company that was identified in the investigation, but not in the report.

Heck---I can put a stick of dynamite in my dirty laundry and wipe out half of south Austin.

Katz's is north of the river and should be unharmed by my dirty laundry bomb unless there is a gusty wind blowing from the south that day.

Now if the Liberals had their way we would not even know anything about this because when the local cops found him dead and the radioactive material they would have just disposed of it or tried to sell it for cash.

Under Clinton no one would be talking to anyone else in the different agencies because he was afraid they might uncover his sex antics and the dead bodies that accumulated around him and his wife. He specifically created barriers to each individual Agency from sharing information with the others.

Hmm, okay, just make sure you pick the right atmospheric conditons or otherwise get those kitties on top of the place waving those paws

The concerns of a citizen from our sister city in Australia will be taken into consideration prior to the deployment of my weapon of mass stench.

Whoa!

The report posted on the WikiLeaks Web site states that “On 9 December 2008, radiological dispersal device components and literature, and radioactive materials, were discovered at the Maine residence of an identified deceased [person] James Cummings.”

The section referring to Cummings can be read here.

It says that four 1-gallon containers of 35 percent hydrogen peroxide, uranium, thorium, lithium metal, thermite, aluminum powder, beryllium, boron, black iron oxide and magnesium ribbon were found in the home.

Also found was literature on how to build “dirty bombs” and information about cesium-137, strontium-90 and cobalt-60, radioactive materials. The FBI report also stated there was evidence linking James Cummings to white supremacist groups. This would seem to confirm observations by local tradesmen who worked at the Cummings home that he was an ardent admirer of Adolf Hitler and had a collection of Nazi memorabilia around the house, including a prominently displayed flag with swastika. Cummings claimed to have pieces of Hitler’s personal silverware and place settings, painter Mike Robbins said a few days after the shooting.

An application for membership in the National Socialist Movement filled out by Cummings also was found in the residence, according to the report. Cummings’ wife, Amber B. Cummings, 31, told investigators that her husband spoke of “dirty bombs,” according to the report, and mixed chemicals in her kitchen sink. She allegedly told police that Cummings subjected her to years of mental, physical and sexual abuse. She also said that Cummings was “very upset” when Barack Obama was elected president.

I wonder if he was a Glenn Beck fan? Glenn Beck seems to think that people are being pushed so far that they're understandably going on killing sprees.

Yeah, but he'd rather make stuff up in his own head. It makes him feel better about himself.

With all due respect, you're retarded, man.
