"I find it hard to believe the conspriators were able to find so many willing drivers, many of whom did not look Arabic, or at least I didnt see any Middle Easterners, willing to blow themselves up.

Is it possible that when their dispatcher in "The Day Before" told them they were going to make "history", that perhaps they were told they were delivering a special medicine, or even a new book, to different locations throughout the country, but atomic boms were planted in the trucks instead? Were these unsuspecting patsies?

Hawkins knew this, and had a choice: he could blow the whistle on the deal, and tell the other drivers, after which he would have been shot dead immediately, and the bombs would have all still gone off, or he could quiety take his bomb, deactivate it, get his wife and kids, and get them to safety knowing that at least Columbius wasnt going to get fried.

Why wouldnt he call the authorities? It was too late, and besides, who would listen? He was to deliver the bomb to his bosses, but instead hid out in Jericho, which is why they are trying to track him down. Or maybe its the bomb plotters that are upset with him, and trying to track him down and get their nuker back."

"I ahve to agree, not only is it a terorist goal, but it would have very little effect on the world econemy, yes there would be an initial destabilazation, but quickly it would stabalize, the US takes more from the world than it gives, Oil from Saudi, Electricity, oil water food from Canada, anything electronic or from Wal-mart china. The us Imports more than it exports. Don't forget a retail giant is responsible for 2% of GNP. Sad to say, but it appears the US in more dependant than you realize. "

"That does make sense. Not only that, since Sarah is a double agent, she probably didn't blow the whistle to make everyone alert to the bombs being set off on that day."
