Frankly, Ijaz puckered a number of people as he worked assiduously to allow US oil firms to operate in the Sudan. He knew Gore well, and held various important fundraisers for the Democrats. In the end Gore cold not pull off a deal that was really meant to benefit Ray Irani, a White House guest, and Occidental Petroleum. Ijaz went one way, the Clintons another.
I wonder if anyone in the intellignce agencies have bothered to question Ijaz concerning their nuclear weapons program. A trained nuclear physicist, he and his father knew all the top players in Pakistan's weapons program.
