A leading U.S. nuclear proliferation expert said Teheran obtained an atomic bomb about a decade ago from the nuclear black market. The expert said Iran sought to produce additional nuclear weapons through technology from Pakistan and other countries.
"The one functional device Iran has," Mansoor Ijaz, a U.S. nuclear scientist, said, "is the result of clandestine transfers from Pakistan's rogue black market nuclear scientist, Abdul Qadeer Khan, who sold the Iranians antiquated but highly effective Chinese bomb designs and parts, including spherical shell casings, spherical Krytron detonation switches and empirical software testing modules."
On Saturday, Iran threatened to launch a missile strike against the West. The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Maj. Gen. Rahim Safavi, said Teheran could retaliate with the Shihab-3 intermediate-range missile against what he termed was British efforts to foment unrest in western Iran.

I've always found Mansoor Ijaz fairly credible, but a nuclear scientist? As the late, great Johnny Carson would say, I didn't know that!

I have watched about 10 minutes of 24 just to see...
Imagine someone holding down the key (any key) of an Organ (any kind of "musical" organ), after about 10 minutes you just have to unplug it.

Uh! Uh! Don't you know that diesel powered vehicles cause breast cancer, along with second hand smoke! San Francisco study /sarcasm
They would do the dirty deed and gloat rather than announce in advance.
UN REPORT: They said, 'We no got bumb! See, look plans! Only for 'lectric lamps!'
Well, doesn't the Cox Report already tell us that
our documents were sold to China (sorry, transmitted) under the table (was it black market?) re: nuclear missiles designed by Boeing, Martin Marietta, Loral, were transmitted with diplomacy of R. Brown.Dept of Commerce, who convienently died in plane crash with 38 others just prior to Clinton's election. (Demcrat) So now to Iran (designed by US
originally???) huhhhhhhhhh??? So, whose fault is it that
Iran is dabbling with nuclear power?? Profits??? American free enterprise. Was anyone imprisoned for this behavior??

"Set us up the bomb...make your time!"
President Damian..
I tend to think that if Iran had the bomb for a decade, they'd have used it by now.
"24" is worth the time...
Well, maybe ... but then I'd have to get cable TV or the Dish Network and spend some $50/month for one good show. Not worth it to me.
Maybe someday I'll get an antenna for the TV so I could get 3 or 4 channels.
They've got it on DVD -- don't hook up the TV for one show - your instincts are right, 99% of TV shows aren't worth the time...
Correction: 99.9%
Thanks for the ping.
Maybe they have the DVD of the show at the library ... heck I'm paying a ton of property taxes, maybe its time I should get something for it.
