In other words this taxpayer paid group from the Energy Department took this upon themselves.....
Members of the Energy Department team took a highly unusual step: They began working quietly with a Washington arms-control group, the Institute for Science and International Security, to help the group inform the public about the debate, one team member and the group's president, David Albright, said.

>>>>>>>>I believe the administration had a good foundation for its suspicions about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, and has good reason now to keep hunting for them. During my investigations in the mid-1990s, I often felt that Iraq was hiding at least low-level nuclear weapons activities from inspectors and would reconstitute a full-scale nuclear weapons program if given the chance. In addition, last fall and winter Iraq failed to cooperate with international weapons inspectors on many issues; it refused to allow free access to scientists inside or outside Iraq; and it provided inadequate evidence of its claims to have unilaterally destroyed its chemical and biological weapons. <<<<<<<<

Documents Indicate A.Q. Khan Offered Nuclear Weapon Designs to Iraq in 1990: Did He Approach Other Countries?
By David Albright and Corey Hinderstein
February 4, 2004
The following discusses a set of documents obtained by United Nations (UN) inspectors in Iraq in 1995 that may indicate an effort by Abdul Qadeer Khan shortly before the start of the 1991 Persian Gulf War to sell Iraq nuclear weapon design drawings and gas centrifuge design information, facilitate the procurement of the equipment required to build these items, and provide on-going technological assistance. Combined with recent information about Khan and his associates' assistance to gas centrifuge programs in Iran, Libya, and North Korea, these documents raise the highly disturbing possibility that Khan may have also sold these and perhaps other countries nuclear weapon designs. Inevitably, these concerns also raise questions about whether Pakistani scientists transferred nuclear weapon designs to Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups. [Cont'd at above link...] |
