Wow. This is actually a very big story.

If the scientists did it for financial gain this begs the question doesn't it? Bin Laden was a very rich man.

It also leads to a lot of speculation about what is going on in Pakistan. This story with the scientists has been brewing for a few weeks now. Given that it is a backwards country, I would speculate that this is news that Musharraf has held on to until now- doling it out at his own pace and for his own device. The question is- what and why?

We hear lots of assurance from Iran lately in the news and from the UN agency responsible for looking into proliferation that Iran isn't trying to make nukes.

We hear rumors of bin Laden being captured.

There have been several attempts on Mushy's life of late.

Pakistan has, indeed, sent a team to Libya.

Libya has capitulated on its own quest to develop nukes.

There's a lot of high-stakes poker going on right now and the top story is Edwards' shampoo.

All this adds up to something. Whoever can connect the dots will have the answer.

"Oh, I regret to inform you that some of our scientists may have done some things that were not approved. Please understand that we have this problem of rogue elements that are simply out of my control. So sorry. In order to prevent any future problems like this, please give me any and all help you can. Thank you my friend." [Fingers crossed behind back....]

Pakistan could treat such lawbreakers with utmost harshness.

Bush had two roads from which to choose after 9/11. The "Islam attacked us, trust no Muslim regime" one, and the "Islam is a religion of peace, work with seemingly-friendly Muslim regimes" one. Bush chose the "Religion of peace" road--a huge mistake. No Muslim regime can be trusted, no "Muslim Bomb" can be permitted. Bush made the same mistakes with Pakistan which Clinton did with North Korea. Now both rogue nations will turn loose those bombs on the black market. An American city will someday pay the price for our political correctness.

When will this nation learn that Islam is a religion of TOTAL WAR AGAINST THE INFIDEL? There is no compromise, no trust, no alliance with such an enemy. Stop the PC nonsense, stop the "moderate Islam" propaganda, drop the Wolfowitz pipe dreams about "Islamic democracy". It is all garbage. 9/11 was the Pearl Harbor in the war against Islam. But it seems that until millions die here at home, we will never act against this enemy.

I have no idea whether somebody sold nuclear technology to another country or not, but as someone who has seen the hush-hush wallahs quite closely it is extremely hard for me to believe that the scientists could have had any contact at all with third countries, let alone pass nuclear secrets to them, without their many minders knowing full well about it.

I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED, I tell you!

And he stressed: "There is no such evidence that any government personality or military personality was involved in this at all."

Now, how would he know this?
