The U.S.director of national intelligence says the global economic crisis could lead to political instability around the world. Dennis Blair told the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee Wednesday (February 25th) that financial instability can, in his words, "loosen the fragile hold that many developing nations have on law and order." Blair also cited U.S. concerns about terrorism and the spread of nuclear materials.
