way to fight them terrorists, George

A Kennedy School of Government report says that less nuclear material was secured in the two years immediately after the 9/11 attacks than in the two years before.

From NY Times: The most plausible explanation is that the administration has focused so intensely on Iraq, which posed no nuclear threat, that it had little energy left for the real dangers. Indeed, the Harvard researchers said that if a tenth of the effort and resources devoted to Iraq in the last year was devoted to securing nuclear material wherever it might be, the job could be accomplished quickly.

Update: The KSG report can be downloaded here.

If you ever find a link to the actual KSG report, let me know.

I believe this should do the trick: http://www.nti.org/e_research/cnwm/overview/cnwm_home.asp

Took some pretty heavy searching to find though.
