...The odds are still heavily in favour of the military maintaining strict command and control.

When nukes are concerned, that's not a terribly reassuring sentiment.

Considering Dr AQ Khan’s non-state network, it is difficult to believe that Pakistan harness’s a coherent command and control system.

I would feel better if Dr. AQ Khan was in US custody rather than under Pakistani house arrest.

"Nevertheless, instances of illicit trafficking of nuclear material and loss of control over nuclear assets in other countries should not be made a basis to raise suspicions over Pakistan’s nuclear assets.”

That's exactly why everyone should be suspicious.

Trusting Pakistan’s military with nuclear weapons is like trusting Bill Clinton to give your college age daughter a job as an intern.
