New York, September 21: President Pervez Musharraf has said he would not allow American investigators to question Pakistan's disgraced scientist A.Q. Khan who provided nuclear technology to Iran, Libya and North Korea.
Musharraf in an interview to The New York Times said he had succeeded in breaking up Khan's network but was not certain if the full extent of the scientist's activities had been discovered.
"I'm 200 per cent sure that it has been shut down," the General said of Khan's network. "But if you say whether I am sure over what he's provided in the past, no sir, I'm not, I can't say surely that he has honoured everything that he has done." American intelligence officials, the Times said, believe that the three countries -- Iran, Libya and North Korea -- may have accounted for less than 50 per cent of the network's customers.
Musharraf rejected charges that his government had denied US investigators the chance to question Khan, whom he pardoned, saying the Americans never requested this.

Straight out of Naked Gun :)
Our "ally."
Make Mush "an offer he can't refuse". I'm sure he will have a change of heart.
Our ally is a dictator.
Our ally is an Islamist dictator who takes our money and weapons with one hand while aiding radical muslim extremists with the other. The captures in Pakistan are wonderful theater. But they only haul in the bad guys when we embarrass them into it. Of course, when we forced their hand on KSM, he was captured in Rawalpindi, the Pakistani equivalent of Langley, VA, where he'd been living for months. No serious person disputes that the ISI knew he'd been there all along.
It does not matter if he is an Islamist or a buddhist.
We shouldn't work with those persons who oppress their own people and screw other nations to preserve our interests. Moreover, this moron is armed with Nukes. Pakistan is proud of having an Islamic A-Bomb.
The friend of my enemy is not my friend.
