But the floodgates were opened wide by the renegade Pakistan nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan, who is revered in Pakistan as the Father of the Islamic Bomb. Khan established a virtual supermarket of nuclear technologies, parts and plans which operated for more than a decade on a global stage. After his operation was shut down in 2004, Khan admitted transferring technology and parts to Iran, Libya and North Korea. Proliferation experts are convinced they know the identities of at least three of his many other clients: Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Syria.

Can we drop the charade about AQ Khan being a "renegade" scientist who singlehandedly distributed nuclear secrets to every rogue state on the planet? The idea that Pakistani nuclear technology, controlled completely and solely by the Pakistani military, could somehow be given away by a single man for over a decade without the support of the Pakistani military at the highest levels is ridiculous. Pakistan's gross irresponsibility seems to be one of the primary reasons behind the nuclear threat we and the rest of the world now face from North Korea and Iran.

I agree and would have to add the gross irresponsibility of the Clinton administration.
