Am not yet halfway through. Lots of interesting facts in the book. Read this interesting bit last night:

"in 1990, Iraq built a workable nuclear weapon. All it lacked was the fissile material. Iraq has natural uranium deposits, so it does not need to import uranium (although acquiring already enriched uranium would be a huge bonus). It also has the technology and the know-how to build a system capable of enriching that uranium to weapons grade.
...
the U.S. intelligence community has estimated that it would take Iraq five to ten years from the start of a crash program to make one or more devices. If such a crash program started in 1999, Iraq might be able to develop such weapons by 2004."

Much, much more there. Think we better not let his regime last till '04.
