Prove any of that, please.

Re: North Korea, no nuclear technology (civilian or otherwise) was *ever* transfered from the US. On the otherhand, Pakistan's A. B. Khan network transfered nuclear technology (plans and hardware) to N.K., as the President of Pakistan finally admitted last week.

Re: China, the US did NOT approve the transfer of nuclear OR missile technology to China... but we DID prosecute Loral when we discovered that they had 'inadvertantly' transfered computer software (to analyze failure modes for a communications satellite launch) that could have the 'dual-use' of increasing military missile targeting accuracy, and violated US export controls by failing to receive federal clearance for the transfer. Executives of the company plead guilty to felony charges, and the company was hit with a huge fine by the feds.

Similarly, our ally the Israelis have been violating US export controls in recent years with their sale of weapons systems to China --- and that recently blew-up into a huge squabble with the US about a month ago....
