Newt and the EMP Threat

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. The New York Times today criticizes Newt Gingrich for raising an alarm about the threat posed by electro-magnetic pulse or EMP.  Newt is correct, and the Times is wrong. The Times says it is unclear what an enemy would accomplish by detonating a nuclear weapon high over our country.  In fact, a blue-ribbon commission found this to be a real and devastating threat. The commission established that an EMP attack would catastrophically damage or destroy our electrical grid and the infrastructures it powers, on which our society critically depends.  Its chairman says that within a year, nine out of ten Americans would be dead. Newt Gingrich is right that we need to take steps now to mitigate this danger.  The New York Times is doing a serious disservice by downplaying the EMP threat.
