Terrorists with Nukes - an analysis
Excellent article by
Steven DenBeste of the issue with nations developing nuclear capability and the 'leakage' of that capability and materials to terrorist organizations.
bq. At this point I am feeling quite confident that Qaddafi is not playing any games and has genuinely given up his ambition to develop nuclear weapons. There's good reason to believe that Libya's intelligence agency is actively cooperating with the US and UK and revealing everything it has on other nations which were involved. If so, the effort has suffered a calamitous compromise.
bq. Pakistan already had nukes, and its top experts had been providing technical advice to the others. That's now been exposed, but not totally resolved. (Apparently one reason the US is soft-pedaling its reaction is the hope that the Pakistani scientists involved may be able to provide information about the current state of NK's development effort.)
These two paragraphs are the barest of excerpts - read the article for a very thoughtful analysis of the situation with links to data and also links to other views. Good stuff!
