It's a good point, but what's the cost of cleaning up a major city after a suitcase nuke detonation?
What's the cost of what the public will be willing to do after the next terrorist act? How threatened will they feel, and what sort of reaction will they demand?
For all the WMDs not found in Iraq, there's Libya. Libya was on the Pakistani nukes client list and DID have those aluminum tubes, so you have to consider this a 2-for-1 deal in any case.
(Please, the notion that Libya would have gone this direction anyway is silly. Khadafi SAID it was due to the US approach to Iraq, and any salesman understands that you need a closer to finish off any deal.)
