An interesting copy and pasted article.
1. Make-Believe Capital???? I thought Islamabad was a real capital, I grew up in good-ole Islo (Young in human years but not in Dog) ….. and I feel like I was living in the wonderland/Disneyland …. This is earth shattering Khabar for me ….. Or was S. Hersh just trying to pre-conceive the notion of Banana Republic in to the audience (By the way Bananas in the Make-Believe capital don’t taste the same anymore, as they used to when I was a Young Lad … I wonder why).


“For two decades, journalists and American and European intelligence agencies have linked Khan and the Pakistani intelligence service, the I.S.I. (Inter-Service Intelligence), to nuclear-technology transfers, and it was hard to credit the idea that the government Khan served had been oblivious”

2 decades, let’s see that would make it around 1983/1984 when the journalists/ I agencies started linking Dr. Khan with nuclear Tech. transfer, so he must have started it prior to the above mentioned years …. That is very impressive of Dr. Khan that with in 7 to 8 years of returning to Pak from the Netherlands he was able to develop nuclear technology for Pak and then transfer it …. This man must be real good at what he does, don’t you think?

Harimau


Quote:


It is stupid to dismiss the area as a wasteland ``where not a blade of grass grows`` as Indira Gandhi once said.




A minor correction here...It was not Mrs Indira Gandhi who said but it was her father Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru said that.

Another interesting thing about this incident/quote is ( not that well known to majority ) response by Piloo Modi, one of the wittiest Indian parliamentarian (though in 60s his sources of finance with regard to party affairs ( Swatantra party?) were bit questionable)) in the Parliament. He said something to the effect that.. not a single hair grows on Panditji`s head, does that mean that it is of not much ...

Musharraf`s latest Press release:

``Agar Ghaas Bhi Khaani Pare
To Ghaas Bhi Khayenge
Magar, Meri Hifazat Ke liye
Bomb Hatane Hi Parenge``

Just a discourse from interesting debate....about the two AQ/AK `s


Libya and North Korea have vehemently denied Pakistani Involvement in their Nuclear Programs...

Libya denying giving out/or rating out on AQ ...and North Korea...completly denying his involvemnet...


...so Iran ....?? becomes the RAT..


.....and Pakistans sudden TOO HONEST approach ...!! raises some very interesting question.....can any body guess...????
