Another provision of the proposed law, which if enacted, could force Pakistan to hand over Khan,

This mean Congress is authorizing troops to enforce this law?

says the President will send to Congressional committees a description of the extent a country is cooperating with the US to stop proliferation, including the degree to which the it has satisfied requests for information and grant of access to key persons involved in proliferation.

Is that a request?

Iran is the problem in the M.E., and Pakistan is the problem in Central Asia.

We can't fight everybody, though.

A Q Kahn is a thief of nuclear secrets and a shamelessly greedy and dangerous nuclear proliferator, but he's a hero to the Pakistanis and they won't be turning him over to a bunch of infidels to whom he might spill his guts about islamic nuclear intentions all around the world.

International nuclear proliferation is my #1 issue, especially what was done by A.Q. Khan.

But it may be impossible to have him brought to justice here. It is essential that Pakistan's nuclear arsenal be kept out of the hands of the extremists, and extraditing Khan could cause that to happen. So we need to find a way to kill Khan and make it look like an accident or natural causes.

At times like this.....assassination seems like a sane world's response to insane behavior...

Destroying evil should be a supported endeavor.

Pakistan remains, as it has ever been, our enemy. They invented the Taliban, are hiding Bin Laden, and are engineering the "Islamic bomb" to spread throughout the world. Treating Musharraf as an ally was a big mistake.
