The Khan job

The documents and a taped statement are said to show that senior Pakistani army officials - including President Pervez Musharraf - were aware of Abdul Qadeer Khan's nuclear proliferation activities. They are believed to have been smuggled out of the country by the scientist's daughter, Dina.

Pakistani intelligence officials said Dr Khan had agreed to surrender the documents in return for a blanket pardon, but had failed to do so.

Uh-oh. Well, he's a scientist. Not an idiot. Turn those over, and he's a dead man.

Remember kids, your government says it's okay to sell nuclear secrets.

Meanwhile, relatives of six other scientists who worked with Dr Khan, and are being detained at undisclosed locations without access to lawyers, accused the Pakistani government on Friday of a cover-up.

Hmmmm....

How come they don't get pardons?

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
