I couldn't get the direct link to work when I tried to put it above, but you can find a link to the article on the news page which I put up top.

FYI

[KQQL]

I bet this story is true.

[Quix]

When are we going to see some press people keel hauled and then hung from the ?yard arm?

I didn't realize press people could operate so deceptively, treasonously well after multiaxial lobotomies. They must come from long lines of suicidal maniacs on both sides of their families.

[Elihu Burritt]

But there are doubts about whether the CIA - or any other intelligence agency - knows the exact location of Pakistan's warheads, which were first tested, to the surprise of American intelligence agencies, in 1998.

Sort of answers his own question there, doesn't he.

[Dog Gone]

We have contingency plans to do just about everything.

[Centurion2000]

Just had afunny thought. Silly but funny, the CIA steals the warheads and a Pakistani fighter. They vanish and come back out during ramadan when they bomb the Kaaba and make it look like some form of Islamic terrorist.

Get some whiz-kid at the Farm to make a full time real video to make a film of Bin Laden stating that he is now Zoroastrian and had to destroy all the old images of his ex-religion.

Poetic justice

[Cicero]

I can't imagine a more destructive story, in every possible way. Why on earth did they print it? This one can't possibly fall into the category of disinformation or deliberate leak. The most dangerous result could be that it will encourage Pakistani militants to overthrow the government.

[Amerigomag]

Doesn't the UK have something called "the Offical Secrets Act". I'd say it's time to implement it's provisions....or stop including Mr. Blair in any further US briefings.

[115thINTC]

Damm the media, to h**l!!! This information is closely held. Now the shell game begins.

[The Duke]

Whoever leaked this should be tried and executed.

[classygreeneyedblonde]

How does all these military plans get out? if they are true

[HiTech RedNeck]

Pakistan's "nuclear arsenal" may only be a building a la Manhattan Project, which can't be delivered anywhere.

[Squantos]

More media "fact's".................stay safe.

[BraveMan]

This is either smoke and mirrors, or something the Brits want to take off the table . . .

[Ozymandias Ghost]

Since this plan is only to be implemented IF Gen Musharraf is deposed, I would say this story could well be aimed towards either the Pak insurrectionists or the Indian government ...and yes I can think of some reasons it would be "leaked."

Given the way security has been handled by the administration, so far, there is NO way this would have seen the light of day if those in power didn't want it to be so.

Of course this story can also be the product of Mr Hersch's fertile imagination ...the press is constantly whining they can't get any information.

--a few points

1-surface level. Well, this is a "duh" not even close to a leak. I mean, let's get real, pakistan has nukes, a long history of coups, and they got a lot of mad jihaders over there-OF COURSE they would be thinking about 'what the heck could we do-what are the options?" in a series of 'what if..." scenarios. I've assumed since India blasted off theirs and pak followed suit that they been planning for something like this.

2-deeper level--it's looking more and more to me like the end game here is to contribute more and more to fractionalization in the middle east to institute a series of wars and coups to keep in place tame puppets-because if we don't do it, the chinese are going to do it, then they get the pinata.

3-even deeper-well, neutralization of any credible opposition domestically and implementation of the NWO two class society is fully on track. They need even more "losses" to finish off the job of scaring the US and British people enough to swallow complete fascism. this will have to happen with a few 'defeats" in the foreign war-whoops! loose nukes, etc- and more "domestic terror attacks", involving a lot more causalities and panic and fear than 911.

[Dosa26]

They are right of coarse...As Zog states we will have contingency plans for (almost) all options. It doesn't mean action is imminant. Perhaps this is just to assure the british that in case of trouble we will devote much effort to assuring their safety from a crude nuke from Pakistan launched via scud-b or c.

[yooper]

If this story is true, whoever leaked it and whoever published it should be indicted for treason.

[George W. Bush]

Sounds like the spooks are getting as overheated as the jehadi.

[Eternal_Bear]

A good idea! Do it now!
