Re: A Q Khan: 'Pakistan Government knew/part of nuclear proliferation'
If AQ isnt the only one responsible, why should he be the only one behind a house arrest, whereas his ex-partner in crime sits in the Army house. His life is as precious as anyone else's and if anyone else is guilty of the same crime, lets see them punished as well, rather than awarding them the status of our self imposed life long (unpopular) rulers
haha why do you fail to mention it will expose Musharraf big time! Why do you think they have AQ under house arrest? Not because Musharraf cares about his life, he wants to save his own chamri as he was the mastermind behind the proliferation, if it happened.
The nuke proliferation started before Mush's time. A UN/IAEA investigation will prove the involvement of PPP, PML, Zia et al in the jihadi nuke business and that will mean that Mush will no longer be able to save Pindi from being bombed back to the stone age.

The entire Punjab-Pashtun establishment is responsible. Mush tried his best to protect it, but now he can't do any more as they themselves are trying to sabotage it. Next major terror attack with origins from Pakistan and say goodbye to all of nuclear/army/govnt etc. infrastructure.
Why do you think US supports Musharraf so much? Don't you think keeping/supporting Musharraf would lead them closer and closer to their target (de-nuke Pakistan)?
US has 2 options: keep a close watch over Pakistan's nukes or destroy them. Mush tried to keep it to option 1, but with him soon gone (apparently), option 2 will be the only one left.
So why are you so scared of exposing these ‘punjab pashtuns’? If you are so confident Musharraf isnt one of them, why are you so worried about what AQ is about to say, why not call for a full investigation instead of just making AQ Khan the scapegoat? 
Mush didnt protect jack, it was all happening under his nose, and this is why you are so scared of getting this whole mess out in the open.

Pakistan played right into hands of US by fighting the militants selected fights, half-hearted operations it will only lead to civil war and if Musharraf had remained sole power for longer the "option 2" would've seen the daylight with Mushy sitting in the seat.
I’m worried for Pakistan, something you know or care nothing off as we can see from all your posts. If you still don’t get it after all this time what is at stake, I can’t really help you any more.
Seriously, learn to think beyond your petty minutia.

Terrorists have to be confronted, either now or years from now, or Pakistan will never progress.
9/11 just hastened the process.

hahahaha worried for pakistan, or worried for musharraf, and ultimately his croonies in power, which is the whole reason you support that crook in teh first place. Musharraf is the real smuggler and king of proliferation.
Standing up for a Pakistani, who is muzzled and held by his fellow accomplice under house arrest is whats called worrying about Pakistani, not pretending your favorite leaders who committed an equal if not greater crime are angels. Your jihado-waabo-phoebia seems to die out when it involves uncle Mush.
Re: A Q Khan: ‘Pakistan Government knew/part of nuclear proliferation’
**Looks like Khan is finally spilling the beans.
**
Truth will come out: AQ Khan
By SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT submitted 20 hours 46 minutes ago WASHINGTON - Nuclear scientist A.Q. Khan, who is now recanting his televised admission that he helped Iran and Libya obtain nuclear-weapons technology, says the truth would come out about who was responsible for the proliferation.
**In an interview with The Washington Post, Dr. Khan said he would not speak in detail about his work or identify his associates, but said “others in the military and in Musharraf’s government were culpable in the proliferation of nuclear technology”. **
**“The truth will come out about how they are treated, who is responsible. Those facts will come out,” he said. **
Pakistan has been under pressure for years to give the United States and the International Atomic Energy Agency access to Khan, The Post pointed out. So far, the government has refused, saying Pakistan has already conducted its own investigation into Khan’s nuclear dealings. Yet more recently, as Musharraf’s power here has waned, so too, it seems, has American interest in Khan, a U.S. official was cited as saying by the paper.
“I’m sure we would oppose his release, but you know, as time goes on, I suppose his information gets less and less valuable,” the official said. “No one has sort of thought about Mr. A.Q. Khan in a while.”
Dr. Khan said, “Why should I talk to them? Pakistan is a sovereign nation. We are not a colony. I did whatever my government wanted me to do. I gave them whatever they wanted. We have not violated any laws.”
He also said it was Pakistan’s humiliating defeat that had sparked his desire to help Pakistan build the bomb. He said the creation of a nuclear weapons programme was a proud achievement that has kept the two longtime rivals from going to war.
“My work to support Pakistan was that we showed that we could not be overrun by India, that we should not find ourselves in the position we found ourselves in in '71 with East Pakistan,” he said.
Early this week, allegations surfaced in a book by Indian journalist Shyam Bhatia that Benazir Bhutto, the former prime minister slain in December, secretly carried CDs containing information about uranium enrichment to North Korea in 1993 in exchange for missile technology information. Asked whether the allegations were true, Khan said there was no way of establishing their “authenticity.”
But Khan went on to say that he had regularly briefed Ms. Bhutto about Pakistan’s nuclear programme. “She knew the whole thing was going on,” he said. “She was the prime minister.”
Khan told The Post Pakistani scientists had been hunting for a long-range missile to deliver the bomb and first turned to China for help. But China refused to share information about its longer-range missiles, he said. The goal, Khan said, was to build a nuclear weapon that could reach Pakistan’s “only adversary” – India.
“China had the missiles, but they were very restricted. They were becoming a world power and they wanted to show they could act responsibly,” Khan was quoted as saying. “The only option was North Korea.”
Khan said he is hopeful that Pakistan’s newly elected government will further lift restrictions on his movements. “A lot of people are already pressing very hard for all the restrictions to go,” he said. “This new government is busy with other things. They’ve been left almost with a dying patient. It will take some time to get their house in order, and I don’t want to create problems.”
Khan, who has been in poor health in recent years, said he decided to speak out now because he was worried that his legacy was in jeopardy. “I didn’t want to leave behind the stigma for my family that their father or husband is a traitor or a bad man,” he was quoted as saying.
Re: A Q Khan: 'Pakistan Government knew/part of nuclear proliferation'
Your second post just invalidated your earlier post. You are excited about the shady nuke secrets to be revealed about Pakistan. Use your brain and think for once who that hurts the most.
It will only hurt those who are hiding behind scapegoats like AQ Khan over stashes of money. Why are you so afraid of letting everyone hear the truth, i.e. Musharraf supporting Jihadiz? Like I said, your jihad-o-phoebia dies out when it involves uncle Mush.
Terrorists have to be confronted, either now or years from now, or Pakistan will never progress.

Again, whatever step is taken should be with full sincerity and honesty, no half hearted measures with one part of army fighting militants on one front while feeding them thru another or paying them few million bucks etc.

Tell that to all the jihadi supporters in Pakistan and on this forum who hate Musharraf because he challenegd the talibs.
Enough truth is out there to know that AQ Khan and military were creating islamic bomb and Mush was the one who put a stop to AQ Khan and establishments activities. You want all the details about this but not ready to know details over why the Brits allowed Pakistan to be created?
Or how about truth of '71 genocide? Ready for that yet?
Re: A Q Khan: 'Pakistan Government knew/part of nuclear proliferation'
Mush was the one who was carrying this out along with his chamchas and making money, the fact that you are so mollah-phoebic, but wet your pants everytime someone calls for a 'real' investigation about Musharrafs alleged hand shows you are nohting but a hypocrite. Sames goes for KArgil. Musharrafs role in the proliferation will be exposed soon, and I am sure AQ Khan will be more than happy to provide some more details.

bhai mere, it wasn't guppies or "supporters" of Taliban who paid Mehsud a couple of million dollars, it wasn't guppies or supporters of Taliban who kept feeding Ghazi brothers until they kidnapped some Chinese people, its only then he probably got a call from China at 2:00AM that he took some action (even that was worst planned and executed).
Re: A Q Khan: 'Pakistan Government knew/part of nuclear proliferation'
Update: President Musharraf team meet with AQ Khan the meeting took place at Dr. Khan’s residence in which he was conveyed a message to refrain from giving statements in media against the President. According to sources, President aides assured Khan that his case could be again reviewed.
I hope for the interest of Pakistan someone working to shutup AQ Khan before its too late.
