On the day of the attacks, Former Secretary of Defense Cohen also said that 
he would not have ruled out any options.  When Peter Jennings prodded him 
further about what that meant, if it included nuclear weapons, he basically 
did the same thing.

Call me crazy, but I don't see how irradiating X,000 square miles of 
nothingness is going to help the situation, but I do see how we could 
create a vast, worldwide terrorist network by doing so.

I can't believe this is even on the table.
